Essentially what SMS Gateway does is allows you to send and receive SMS messages from and to SMS devices with the help of a telecommunication network, which usually is the mobile phone. The SMS Gateway also helps to translate the messages sent to the recipient. Many SMS gateways also can make conversions of the media from email or other formats.
To make it more simple, let’s take an example. When we send SMS messages our phones submit that text message to our mobile operator’s Short Message Service Center (SMSC). Then the SMSC figures out where the recipient of the message is and sends that SMS message to them.
Other than security, there are many advantages your company can get if it chooses to send and receive SMS API messages with the SMS gateway. We’ll go through all of the advantages one by one.
