Email2SMS Gateway Connectivity - SMTP API
SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
With SMSCountry's SMTP API you can easily send SMS to any mobile across the globe just by sending a simple Email. Our SMTP SMS API gateway connectivity (also refer Email2SMS) enables you to send emails to our gateway, and we deliver your email as SMS to mobiles instantaneously.
Using SMTP SMS API, you can send Plain Text & and Language (Unicode) SMS Text messages.
SMTP API is very useful to those who do not have a direct internet connection but are connected to a mail server (like Outlook), which is connected to the Internet. Server Maintenance Personnel, Network and Database Administrators, Companies with firewall settings, Real Estate People, Placement Consultancies, Corporate Managers to contact their Sales Team on the move etc could use this Email to SMS service best.
Note - Make sure your text message does not exceed 160 characters. If it exceeds the limit, our system will send the first 160 chracters as the message and the remaining characters will not be included. In case of Language SMS the character limit is 70 characters.
Setting up SMTP API: Configure the E-mail id(s) from which you want to send the email. The default setting is the E-mail id you have provided during the registration process. You can change/add more E-mail ids at any point of time by clicking on the "Edit" link against "Email2SMS" on "My Account" page (landing page after you logon to www.smscountry.com).
How SMTP API works - Format
You send an email in the format recipient's mobile number. sender's username@smscountry.net with the subject line as the User's "username" and the body of the email containing the SMS Text message. Our server receives the E-mail, authenticates the User, extracts the recipients' mobile numbers and the message and then sends out the SMS Text message to all the intended recipients.

Our COM Object API helps you by:
- It exports a rich set of methods and definitions, and makes it easy for you to integrate SMS sending facility into your programs or ASP pages.
- You can send SMS Text messages in Visual Basic (both in early and late binding mode) and in VBScript (late bound Visual Basic only).
- Since the COM Object interface is completely documented, any COM enabled programming language can be used.
For COM Object SMS API , we offer the same benefits and features we offer in our HTTP API.

SMS Gateway Connectivity - SMPP
SMPP - Short Message Peer to Peer
SMPP is an open standard industry messaging designed protocol to simplify the integration of all data applications with wireless mobile networks/operators such as CDMA, TDMA, GSM and PDC. This protocol is widely deployed in the mobile Telecommunications industry.
SMSCountry supports connections via SMPP Protocol using the global SMPP 3.3 / 3.4 standard. Please visit www.smsforum.net for the SMPP 3.3 and SMPP 3.4 specifications. Using this connectivity, a client can send large volumes of SMS messages per month reliably. We offer exhaustive message reports, balance information and more through a
web interface.
Integrate SMSCountry's SMPP API into your Software/ Application and you will be able to send:
Automated Text SMS: Using this feature you can satisfy your customers with quick transfer of information. This tool is of great help to deliver automated text SMS regarding Doctor Appointment Reminders, Payment Notifications, Shipment Delivery Messages, Bank Transactions over and above a limit set by the customer etc.
Language SMS: Send SMS in the language of your choice be it Arabic, Chinese, Urdu, Hindi, Spanish, French, Greek, Russian etc.
WAP Push SMS: This feature enables you to send an SMS that contains a link on an internet which can take your Customer to MMS-Content on your Web Server. He/she can visit a web page, download a software, etc. just by clicking the URL in the mobile.
Ring tones: Ring tones can be a value added feature for your site, especially if you are owner of an entertainment website. With SMS Country's HTTP API you can automatically do this rather than doing it manually.
Picture messages: Picture messages are small images that can be used on mobile phones as a background image or screensaver. Small black and white picture messages can be sent through SMS. Colored picture messages cannot be sent using SMS because they have huge size.
Logos: You can send your own logo, which the mobile user can use as a background image or screensaver. This way you can easily create brand awareness that too in the customer's personal space i.e. his/her Mobile. If you are a corporate head you can ask your employees to keep your company logo on their mobiles.
Flash SMS: Flash SMS appears on the recipient's mobile but won't get stored in the Inbox, unless he or she saves. The user will benefit by just having a look at the information he/she wants, and there is no question of user inconvenience. This can be used for advertising purposes for example: opening of your new branch, your company reaching a land mark achievement etc.
Setting Up An SMPP Account
SMSCountry looks at a minimum volume commitment from the client in order to maintain a live SMPP connectivity account. Also, the client needs to undergo a SMPP compliance test as per parameters set by our technical team before one can get the SMPP connectivity.

The World Wide Web is being used more for application-to-application communication.
The programmatic interfaces that are useful for performing this task are referred to as Web services.
Web services define a standard means of communication or inter-operating between different software applications, which run on a variety of platforms and/or frameworks. They are of great use and even a necessity for sending SMS from Internet or any software application because of their great inter-operability and extensibility.
Their machine-processable descriptions also made Web Services more useful. By combining them in a loosely coupled way, one can easily achieve complex operations like - sending Flash SMS, Picture Messages and Ring Tones.
You can now also integrate our services into your applications using our Web Service (SOAP).
