2.3. SMPP providers
SMS Messaging Server supports SMPP 3.x compliant SMSC providers.
The SMPP protocol allows a client (i.e. ActiveXperts SMS Message Server) to access the
SMSC’s (‘Short Message Server Center’) systems to send and/or receive SMS messages. To
allow connection between SMS Messaging Server and an SMPP compliant SMSC center, an IP
connection between these two systems is required, either directly or through the Internet.
Usually, an SMSC center provides multiple sites, to ensure that the service is always available.
An SMSC provider ensures high-volume messaging, usually around 10 SMS messages per
second, or even more.
You need to sign-up with an SMPP-compliant center before you can actually use their service. It
normally requires a small sign-up free, and a fee for an SMS bundle per month.
SMS Messaging Server provides free SMPP messaging for a limited number of SMS messages.
You can connect to the ActiveXperts SMPP server and send/receive messages right after
installation, without the need to sign-up with an SMSC center first.
