Textvertising provide an SMS Gateway to allow you to send and received SMS between our platform and yours.

HTTP GET or POST

Simply send the required name/value pairs using GET or POST and your SMS message will be delivered to the networks.

Messages received to our system via virtual mobile numbers, SIM numbers or 5 digit shortcodes can be routed to your application via HTTP. Your system simply needs to accept the name/value pairs we send

Thinking of switching from another provider? It's REALLLY easy!

No problem. SMPP is straightforward, but if you use HTTP we recognose that it can be more tricky.

Well we're ahead on that one. We also provide emulated gateways for many of the UK's alternative SMS providers! This make switching to Textvertising or simply using us as a backup route easier than ever!

This means you don't need to change any of your code, just change the address you HTTP post to. All the parameters you currently use to post will be the same and the result you receive from our gateway will be identical to what you already expect. In fact, if you also expect delivery reports to be posted back to you, these too will be in an identical format.

You could be up and running and saving money in less that a minute so simply get in touch and we'll provide all the information you need.

Security is import. What you should be aware of!

It is important to be aware that although there may be cheaper alternatives, ensure that whoever you choose, you choose somebody with a direct connection (Tier 1) route.

Although this may not seem important - as most only consider price as important - messages and numbers you submit to your chosen provider may not always be routed via a direct connection. This means that your messages and numbers could be sent through other third party providers - especially ones in other countries - to save money. The consequence is that any one of these could be collecing your information to sell as marketing data without your knowledge. It's your data so you must decide if it's worth the risk over fractions of a penny. You may find you are breaching data protection rules by not handling and processing your data in accordance with the Data Protection Act.

Textvertising is a TIER 1 DIRECT ROUTE so information you submit to us is sent directly to the UK operators. What's more, you know you're in safe hands because we are also registered with the ICO (Information Commisioners Office) for your data protection and peace of mind. We have to abide by strict rules in how we handle your data and we are recognised as a leading, trusted provider for this reason - your data is safe.
