In general, a gateway is a program that allows systems using different data formats to connect to each other in as transparent a way as possible. In an SMS message gateway, one end of the gateway is connected to a mobile telephone network, over which SMS messages are sent. The other end of the gateway can be connected to different systems or services. These most commonly include mail systems and IP networks.

You can integrate SMS into your system using one of our Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). directSMS have a number of APIs in the following technologies: Java, SOAP, HTTP and PHP. All our APIs come with supporting documentation and sample code. For further information, please check our developers page.

There are many applications that can use an SMS-to-IP gateway. Basically, the objective is to extend to the GSM network the functionality of client/server applications that currently run on IP networks, and to facilitate the access to various resources from mobile telephones that have the ability to send and receive short messages.

No. The TSTT gateway is still down. Messages are being sent via an international gateway. Unfortunately, that gateway only supports Digicel and b-mobile GSM phones, so TDMA cells won't receive messages from this site.

characters. However txt4ever allows you to send longer messages with an extended message service, or multiple messages from the same broadcast.

T he front-end would simply be a section for the message (limit) and a destination address (mobile number). Then, based on your architecture, a lower layer would have to create the correct message based on the request or the message is generate server side. In the case of an end-user sending a message to a mobile unit, it would be a SMS-DELIVER message. Then entire message would then be "encapsulated" in a TCP/IP message and send to the appropriate Short Message Service Centre (SMSC).

The maximum length of an SMS text message is 160 characters. We attempt to fit as much information into that space as possible: All SMS Alerts start with the word "FPALRT" so you can quickly identify an incoming SMS Alert message.

Any GSM or CDMA mobile phone capable of receiving SMS text messages can receive an SMS text message. However, there are some important restrictions on who you can send messages to, and for what reason. For example, you cannot send marketing messages unless certain criteria (including gaining the recipient's consent) are satisfied.

SMS, stands for Short Message Service, allows you to send and receive text messages trough your mobile phone.

Normal SMS (e.g. English) will be able to hold up to 480 characters. A Unicode (e.g. Chinese) SMS will be able to hold up to 210 characters. Both these maximum will be 3 SMS in length.

SMS message can be up to 160 characters. If you send a long message the network will transmit the additional characters over 160 as a second SMS message. The number format you are using is invalid or the number is not a GSM number. If you are in the network coverage and your credit is valid you should be able to send SMS. In some countries (in roaming) as a guest user you can receive messages, but you are not able to send them. Check if your messages' memory is full.

All SMS messages that you are charged for leave our network correctly on their way to the destination number. However, it is the responsibility of the destination network to deliver the message. Unfortunately, if your SMS message is not received on the desired handset then there is nothing we can do, even if the network is on our coverage list. No refunds are given for unreceived SMS messages.

SMS messages are not case sensitive. You can use small letters, capital letters or the combination of both for your mPAY transaction.

SMS, or Short Message Service, is basically straight text characters, simple mono-phonic sounds, and B&W pictures made up of text characters. (You cannot take a photo and send it using SMS.) An MMS message can include full-colour graphics and polyphonic (real musical) sounds, as well as short video clips. With the appropriate phone, you can take or download photographs and send them to your friends and family.

Please take a look at the troubleshooting guide from Help > Troubleshooting... from BroadcastByPhone program main menu. I have a large call list that cannot be finished in a day. I set up the broadcast as recurring calls every morning. But the calls always start from the beginning. You should select the checkbox "automatically schedule calls for next day if not finished" in the Start/Schedule broadcast dialog. This feature is only available in the professional version.
