General SMS Delivery Services

For a list of known SMS delivery services, have a look at the Message Aggregators section of our integration page.

SMS delivery services are companies that provide a messaging API for you to deliver traffic through and you typically license your SMS services through them, though not every SMS delivery service is intended for use in every environment.

Most SMS delivery services offer at least one API that PageGate can use to send messages and some services offer multiple methods that can be used for failover and redundancy. PageGate supports the following delivery methods for internet or local network SMS delivery services:

•HTTP POST and HTTP GET

These methods are used to interact with Web and REST APIs, whether those are internet or local network based. Any SMS service or application that can accept a web form, POST or GET methods can be used for messaging with this protocol.

Typically speaking, there will be a few variables needed to set things up; things like account number, API key and authentication credentials

Examples:

•AWS SNS

•Twilio

•MessageBird

•API Daze

•Telnyx

•SMTP

Some delivery services offer the ability to email messages in to their platform can can be used for messaging with this protocol.

Services that support this delivery method will have an email domain you'll deliver your traffic through. For configuration steps, please see the Creating a Relayed SMTP Carrier section.

If your SMS delivery service supports multiple API hosts or delivery methods, you can configure them for failover and redundancy. For more information, see the Failover Scenarios section of the documentation.
