SMS Gateway API Features: What It Is and How It Works

The advent of short SMS transmission technology has had a positive impact on the telecommunications sector. Over time, there were requests to simplify the process of SMS messaging, as sending using a smartphone was complicated by differing protocols of phone manufacturers, the high cost of international mailing, and other factors. The technology that allows you to send SMS without the use of mobile operators was called an SMS gateway for receiving messages.

What is an SMS gateway?

An SMS gateway is a hardware and software component equipped to connect to another network over the Internet using protocols. In simple words, an SMS gateway is an interface that serves as an entry and exit point for text messages.

The SMS Gateway for receiving messages is API-based integration across applications, networks, and databases. The service automatically compresses the text message and converts it into a packet of data that can be delivered over the network. As a result, upon reaching the recipient, the data is converted into SMS for reading. 

The principle of operation of the SMS Gateway API is similar to the operation of the VoIP protocol, which can be read about in our article.

Thus, an SMS gateway is an intermediary between two SMS centers, with the help of which a business automates the sending of SMS mailings, making it faster and less costly.
