Your credits can disappear
very quickly, and you want to be on top of it! A gateway that can provide
you alerts when the credit level falls below a threshold is great!
Does the gateway provide a callback service? How will you know the
delivery status of the message?
How can you send bulk SMS? Is there an easy way for it?
Do you want to send MMS/WAP Push or other type of messages? If so, will
the gateway support it?
If you require two-way messaging, check now! Lot of gateways do not
provide this service.
Similarly, if you want short codes, check the availability and costs associated
with them. Typically, there will be a setup fee and minimum commitment
with shortcodes as well.
You can even use multiple SMS gateways. Depending on the feature required
or the network, you can queue your messages on any of them.
Sending SMS from Your Own Computer
We promised we will tell you more about sending SMS from your own computer/
server earlier! Now is the time for that!
