With the SMTP Service you can automate the sending and receiving of SMS text messages from within any application that has the capability to send and receive emails.

So adding text-messaging to an application does not have to require any new development. You just send the email to us, addressed to the recipient phone numbers (at our domain name) and with the message body in the email body.

We receive the email and send it out as a text message to the recipients. This is a very simple and effective way of adding text-messaging to an existing application.

Highlights:

• - Send text messages from an application’s email address
• - Format: 07836123456@
• - Receive replies to the sent messages, back in to the application
• - Receive delivery confirmations back in to your application
• - Supports the use of the “Subject” field
• - Send true emails out as well through the “Cc” and “Bcc” fields

To use the SMTP Service you first need an account with us (and we can have you up and running in 15 minutes) and then a quick review of our Developer Centre will provide you with all you need to know to start using the SMTP Service.
