SMS Gateway

SMS Gateway
Cellular service providers who offer SMS also offer public SMS gateways, which allow you to compose and send messages from the service provider's web site. A number of independently operated message gateways also exist on the Internet. Some gateways have more features than others. A few let you compose messages to more than one recipient, create group lists, manage messages, and send pre-set or customized replies.

By using a public gateway you can send a message to a device on another network, and friends or business associates without SMS-equipped phones or pagers can send messages to you. If you don't have access to your e-mail account, or an SMS-equipped phone, a public gateway (available from any computer with Internet access) is a convenient way keep in contact.


Wire2Air SMS Gateway can manage simultaneous connections to one or more SMSCs, supporting the major SMSC protocols, including SMPP, UCP/EMI, CIMD2, and/or HTTP. Wire2Air SMS Gateway handles the low level protocol details, and makes it easy to switch between different providers, as well as making it easy to add additional connections for situations where it is advantageous to route messages for different countries via different providers.

2-Way Interactive SMS Application- Wire2Air SMS Gateway is a great tool for enabling rapid development of interactive SMS applications and services. When Wire2Air SMS Gateway receives an SMS message, it can be configured to dispatch that message to a script running on an HTTP server, to a local executable program, or local script or batch file. This provides a simple way to get received messages into an application, so that the application can perform custom processing on the message. The application can generate a simple reply back to the received message, or perform more advanced application specific logic.
