Mail 2 SMS

Seamless integration with the Mail 2 SMS interface

Introduction

This document provides a reference for all features available to you via the HTTPS interface for sending SMS.

The HTTPS-API allows you to integrate your application (client) to SMSGlobal (vendor) using the HTTPS protocol to send SMS. HTTPSS is also supported for secure transactions using SSL encryption.

The Client issues either a HTTPS GET or POST request to the SMSGlobal HTTPS interface supplying a list of required parameters. SMSGlobal issues back a HTTPS response which indicates the validity of the transaction.

The HTTPS-API is used for one-way messaging only. Therefore, you need to provide a valid MSISDN as the Sender ID of the message to enable the recipient to respond.
