What is an SMS gateway?
An SMS gateway is the connection point between your software or system and the mobile network. Via the gateway your application sends SMS messages without a SIM card or GSM modem — purely via the internet. Technically, an SMS gateway uses the SMPP protocol (Short Message Peer-to-Peer) to communicate with operators. You connect your software to our gateway via our SMS API. Smstools offers direct connections with Belgian operators (Proximus, Orange, Telenet) and 2000+ operators worldwide.
SMS gateway vs SMS API — what is the difference?
At Smstools you use our REST API to connect to our SMS gateway infrastructure. You do not need to manage the gateway yourself. View our SMS API →
How does the Smstools SMS gateway work?
When you send an SMS via our API, our gateway automatically processes the message: validation, route selection and direct delivery to the operator. You receive a delivery report via webhook as soon as the message is delivered.
