How does it work?
Step 1: User sends a text message to an assigned short code or virtual phone number.
Step 2: Message received by our SMS gateway from wireless carrier.
Step 3: SMS Gateway parses the message, and redirect to clients’ web server based on the short code, virtual number, and prefix assigned.
Requirements
Client should set-up a web service to receive messages from Our SMS Gateway. We will forward a text message to client's web server in the HTTP GET call.
When configured you can pickup values from our GET request in using PHP as following:
***********************************************************
<?php
$sender = $_REQUEST['MobileNumber']; $content = $_REQUEST ['Message']; $inNumber = $_REQUEST ['shortcode']; $Rcvd = $_REQUEST ['Rcvd']; ?>
***********************************************************
HTTP PARAMETERS
HTTP URL: http://[client web service url]?MobileNumber=xxxxxxxx&Message=xxxxxxx&SMSINBOXID=xxxxx&shortcode=xxxx
HTTP METHOD: GET
Parameters:

Once you have your web server call back service is ready, you can create a developer API campaign and map with your short code and keyword or to a dedicated virtual number.
