What is a SMS Gateway?
SMS Gateway is a just a piece of software that enables you to easily send and receive text "Short Messages" over GSM cellular telephone networks from your local PC or through the network. i.e. You can connect an external SME to the SMSC through the SMS Gateway . So in other words a SMS gateway only bridges the connection between an external SME and SMSC. SMS GATEWAY works simply by connecting server to the client database.
In an SMS message gateway, one end of the gateway is connected to a mobile telephone network, over which SMS messages are sent. The other end of the gateway can be connected to different systems or services. These most commonly include mail systems and IP networks.
The client supplies the destination GSM number, message content (text or binary), and an optional identification number for tracking purposes. The sms gateway software then converts the data into SMS format and sends the message to any number of mobile phones.
