What is an SMS Gateway?

An SMS Gateway is an interface that allows a platform to talk to another. Think of it as a bridge between two places, a link is formed and information can be shared. The gateway takes certain criteria from the system including the authentication keys, and convert them into a 'readable' and usable format for both your system and Experttexting. Most businesses have different processes and software. Many of them now have their own website. If you have ever linked your Twitter or Instagram profiles to your website, then you've used an API. SMS integration isn't much different. In fact, SMS allows you to personalize your bulk messages, allow two-way communication and also send out OTPs. So basically, you can use this for multiple purposes. Now, SMS can be integrated into websites and software through SMS Gateway integration. This allows businesses to introduce SMS into existing CRM tools and infrastructure thereby, connecting all your internal processes to the gateway that lets you send messages programmatically. Experttexting offers a number of API options including REST and SMPP.

Years ago, SMS gateways were offered as hardware. You'd pick up a physical tool and use it to do your work. Now, you must select a vendor partner, install some kind of software, and you're ready to go.

Multiple types of SMS gateways exist, including:

• Direct. Vendors offer programming that can translate your notes into text messages, and you'll get responses from phones on your computer. Most vendors offer multiple protocols to choose from. 
• Gateway. Start with a SIM card, and install it within your SMS gateway. All of your messages will seem like they originate from your . 
• Spreadsheet. Begin with a list of numbers in software on your computer, and use the gateway to send the same note to each one. 

Any message you send through the SMS gateway is limited to 160 characters. If you have more to say, your note could get sheared into multiple messages. And you have no control over which comes first.

How are SMS gateways used?

• Multiple users. Everyone on your team could log on and work, even if you're all on at the same time.
• Expanded reach. Some services let you reach overseas clients without added global charges.

While your company might be eager to jump on the messaging train, remember that you must have client consent before messaging begins. That requirement is part of the Consumer Protection Act, and violating it can be expensive.
