SOAP forms a foundation layer of the web services protocol stack providing a basic
messaging framework upon which abstract layers can be built. It is a protocol for
exchanging XML-based messages using HTTP/HTTPS.
Our SOAP Protocol is right for you, if as a mobile applications developer...
- You need to enable two-way SMS text messaging.
- You need to be able to send batch SMS messages with personalised messages.
- You need to enable functions such as Token Pay for 'spend a voucher' campaigns.
- You need to offer escalation to an alternative gateway for delayed text message delivery. And to be able to set up priority levels for queues.
- You need a set-up period for bulk SMS sending; Clickatell offers you a 7-day delivery delay window.
- You need to be able to query network coverage status as well as text message delivery status.
- You need to set maximum credit limits on text messages purchased and sent.
- You need to specify the features that you need.
The entire range of SMS Gateway API connections has the following features:
- They are all fast, reliable and easy to integrate into any system.
- They all support text, Unicode, binary SMS, EMS and Flash text messaging.
- They all support extended length messages.
- They all offer delivery acknowledgment.
- They all allow customers to specify sender ID details.
- They all come with excellent documentation, script libraries and converters.
- They all offer logo and ringtone converters (VCards and VCal).
- Most of them have bi-directional features and so we can offer two-way messaging capability in over 100 countries.
- Clickatell's technical staff is extensively trained in all products.
- Clickatell offers an extensive network reach to over 222 countries through more than 819 networks.
We offer you 10 message credits to test our SMS
Gateway with a free trial of our SOAP Protocol.
