SMS / MMS API Gateway - Overview  
 
 
What is an API Gateway?
Our API Gateway allows you to send and receive SMS and MMS from your own server application using HTTP POST or GET.  Textvertising offer both an SMS Gateway and an MMS Gateway

How do I get started.

You simply need to open a starter account and download our API Documentation. This gives instructions on using the service and how to get started.

You will need minimal programming experience with one of a variety of languages such as ASP, Perl, PHP, Java or similar. There are many example scripts that show how to perform HTTP POST or GET and receive our posts in one of these languages.

How do I send a message to the Gateway?
The simplest way is to send an HTTP GET request. An example request is below:

http://www.textvertising.co.uk/cgi-bin/smssend.pl?numbers=4471234567890&message=TestMessage&user=Username&pass=Pass

Calling this from an HTTP GET request would send "TestMessage" to the mobile number 4471234567890.

There are many configurable options and you can specify the Originator ID to use, and if premium rate the cost to apply when the handset receives it.

How do I manage the service?
A complete history of any submission is stored inside your account.

What else do I need to know before I get started?
You just simply need to open a starter account and you get 10 free messages to try the service. Once you are happy just top up with messages as you need them. There are no other ongoing costs.

How else can Textvertising help?

If you need help with our API, you can call our Technical Support Team who are on hand to help.

Service Costs
As mentioned, there are no other ongoing costs. Simply pay for the messages that you use as you need them.
