An SMS service provider is a business entity that provides SMS messaging services
but is not a mobile network operator. It acts as a middleman between mobile network
operators and SMS service users. An SMS service provider signs agreements with a lot of
mobile network operators to obtain their permission to exchange SMS messages with their
mobile networks, and offers an interface for users to send and receive SMS messages.
Protocols / interfaces commonly supported by SMS gateway providers for sending and
receiving SMS messages include:
• HTTP. It is the most commonly supported protocol for sending and receiving SMS
messages. It is very simple to use.
• HTTPS (HTTP + SSL encryption). Data transmitted over HTTP is not secure. If you do not
want your data to be seen by others on the Internet, you should use HTTPS instead. With
HTTPS, data are encrypted before transmitting over the Internet, thus protecting the data
from eavesdropping.
• XML over HTTP / HTTPS. One or more SMS messages are put in an XML file and uploaded
to the SMS gateway provider's server. XML over HTTP / HTTPS is a better choice than HTTP /
HTTPS for sending bulk SMS messages since it enables the submission of a large amount of
SMS messages in a single HTTP request.
• SMTP (email to SMS / SMS to email). Choose SMTP if you want to send or receive SMS
messages in the form of email.
• FTP. One or more SMS messages are put in a text file and uploaded to the SMS gateway
provider's FTP server. Like XML over HTTP / HTTPS, FTP is a better choice than HTTP /
HTTPS for sending bulk SMS messages since it enables the submission of a large amount of
SMS messages in a single upload.
• SMPP. The SMPP protocol is usually used by advanced users. It is a binary protocol for
communicating with SMSCs (SMS centers) and SMS gateways. SMPP is suitable for sending
and receiving bulk SMS messages.
