Benin

• Local phone number

  A mobile number can be provisioned inside Benin. Additional telecom charges may apply, and availability depends on number inventory in the market.

  Supported

• SMS messaging

  Survey invitations and reminders reach a mobile number in Benin from a number outside it. A number inside the market cannot text local mobile numbers. A reply from the customer does not travel back, so the conversation runs one way.

  Supported

• MMS messaging

  A picture message to Benin is converted into a text message carrying a link, so the customer opens the images from the link rather than seeing them in the message.

  Not supported

• Voice calls

  A call placed from Yembo can connect to a number in Benin.

  Supported

• WhatsApp messaging

  Invitations and reminders run through the WhatsApp Business Platform, including media attachments.

  Supported

• AI Self-Survey

  The customer captures their own home from the browser on their phone, with no application to install. Nothing in it depends on the telephone network in Benin, so it works wherever Yembo operates.

  Supported

• Smart Consult video chat

  A live guided walkthrough runs in the browser, with no application for the customer to install.

  Supported

• Onsite

  A surveyor captures the home in person on their own phone, which reaches the same AI and returns the same inventory as a self-survey. Available in Benin on the same terms.

  Supported

• Estimates

  Estimates follow national conventions, and the FIDI conventions cover cross-border moves. Yembo returns volume in cubic meters and can derive weight where the local tariff prices by weight.

  Supported

• Claims

  A claim is documented and adjudicated in the browser from the same capture, so it depends on no local carrier and is available in Benin.

  Supported

Data residency and privacy

A survey captured in Benin is processed and stored in the European Union region. Data does not leave that region in the ordinary course of business. For more information, see the Data Storage Policy.
