SMS Server

Connectors

The SMS Server supports open standards enabling it to be easily connected to disparate information systems.

The SMS Server integrates with any electronic messaging system allowing users to send and receive SMS text messages from their favourite e-mail program.
E-mail messages are sent by to mobile telephone recipients using a simple addressing syntax (e.g. John_Smith.07875555555@smsdomain .com).
A single e-mail message may be broadcast to hundreds of mobile telephone recipients.
A user can choose SMS recipients from their e-mail address books or distribution lists.
A report is e-mailed back to the sender with itemised transmission results for each recipient.
Incoming text messages are automatically routed to one or more e-mail recipients or shared folders.
Replies to outbound e-mail to SMS Messages may be routed to the sender of the original message.

Information received in a text message can be automatically published to the web.
The message content may be merged with a template to generate a static HTML file. Alternatively, text may be inserted into a Content Management System or web log to create dynamic pages.

Add an SMS button to your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to allow you to quickly and easily send a text message to a contact.
Link inbound SMS messages to a customer file.

All the functionality of the SMS Server may be accessed via web services allowing software developers to leverage the power of the SMS Server in their applications.

A fully-featured and intuitive web client for sending and receiving text messages is available.
Message boxes may be set up per user or may be shared between groups of users.
The Web client may be used to manage text broadcasts, polls and surveys as part of a wider marketing campaign.

Outbound SMS Messages may be generated by dropping a plain or structured text file into a folder. Recipient information may be defined within the file.
Inbound SMS Messages may be written to a text file and copied to a File Server.

Received Fax messages can be summarised, converted into an SMS message and sent to a mobile telephone.
Inbound SMS messages can be automatically forwarded as a Fax message. The recipients fax number may be contained within the text message content or may be retrieved from a database or directory using a keyword contained within the message.

The SMS Server supports the SMPP (Short message peer-to-peer) protocol allowing it to be easily connected to SMS Service providers for sending and receiving messages.

SMS Messages may be sent and received via a GSM modem. A SIM card within the modem has an individual subscription to a mobile network.
