Send Messaging Service (SMS) allows send/receiving of short textual messages to/from mobile phones and value-added services.
Short Messaging Service (SMS) allows sending/receiving of short textual messages to/from mobile phones and value-added services.
The maximum length of a single SMS content is 140 bytes, which will result in 160 7-bit characters. However, longer text messages can be sent by splitting the message into multiple SMS with the help of User Data Headers. This is done automatically by Wire2Air Mobile Messaging Gateway so that applications do not have to worry about the splitting and concatenation.
WAP Push messages can also be sent via SMS. The gateway supports sending of Service Indication messages that contain URL links to online content such as ringtones or logos.
