SMS API

This document describes how to use the SMS API in order to send and receive SMS messages, and to receive Delivery Receipts (Delivery Report) relating to the SMS messages that have been sent.

All requests should be encoded using the UTF-8 Charset.

The Service will post a request to a Webhook address when there is either an incoming SMS message to be delivered to your application or for a 'Delivery Receipt'. These Webhook addresses can be configured in the user dashboard as part of your account setup. Usage of the user dashboard is outside of the scope of this document.

Sender Addresses

"Sender Addresses "from": "sender address", of "Submit SMS" API must be registered with the operators. Please ask your account manager to register your sender addresses. SMS will not reach the subscribers handset if sender addresses are not registered correctly. All correctly registered sender addresses will be shown on the user dashboard.
