Our solution’s API is designed to make it easier to send automatic text messages from your existing applications, websites, or software. This helps you to communicate with your customers quickly and easily without needing to do anything manually. Our technical experts are always ready to assist you, and comprehensive documentation is available to guide you through every step of the integration.
The SMPP protocol establishes a secure and direct connection between your system and our SMS platform, so you can send messages faster and reliably without the need to use external channels or services. This technology is designed to handle the sending of a large number of text messages simultaneously. This makes it perfect for companies that need to send a considerable number of text messages quickly and reliably, without running the risk of overloading their system.
