TextAnywhere’s SMTP web service allows users to send SMS messages and receive replies from customers using any application that has an email sending and receiving capability. Here are some of the main features that we feel help our SMTP service stand out from the crowd:

Swift compilation and distribution: Creating and sending your SMS messages using the SMTP service couldn’t be easier. Using your existing email system you simply construct your message and choose a subject. Send the email over to us including your list of recipients in the ‘To:’ line separated by a semi-colon. We will then convert your message into SMS form and distribute it to all your desired recipients as one or more text messages depending on the length of the original email message. It’s as simple as that. The best thing is you won’t have to download or install any additional software to use our SMTP service as the SMS Gateway is designed to work with any email application.

Receive and manage replies easily: Recipients can reply to your messages if they have been sent using the sms.textapp.net or sms160.textapp.net domains. The reply is instantly converted back into email form via our system and sent to your email application ready for you to act upon. 

Added security: Our SMS Gateway is designed to be completely secure when dealing with user messages. However, if you prefer to have additional security you can also add a PIN to your phone number for client verification purposes. 

Plenty of choice: there are four different email domains for you to choose from within the SMTP service. These let you perform a variety of actions including choosing whether to provide a phone number only or Originator (sender ID) for recipients to identify you by, controlling the number of text messages you can send for one email, and tracking your message status through delivery receipts. Plenty of other options are available and can be edited within the admin panel of your account. 

Attractive prices: To use our SMTP service you are only required to pay for the messages you send and the choice of domains will allow you to opt for a service that only allows you to send messages as a single text so you can keep track of how much you’ve spent. In addition, our Developer Toolkit and any technical assistance you may require are also completely free.

Our web services have been created with ease-of-use and functionality for our clients at the forefront. Therefore, we think you will find that using these services will provide you with a wide range of benefits.

Here are some of the things you can do with our various web services:

· Access our user-friendly toolkit:

Our Developer Toolkit is a resource centre offering documentation and examples to help you make important decisions when it comes to the text messaging integration.  With our web service you can efficiently send and receive messages, you can also use functions such as selecting whether your messages are premium rate or free to receive,  checking the delivery status of all or specific messages, and much more.

· Enjoy seamless integration:

TextAnywhere understand that integrating our text messaging service needs to be as simple as possible which is why we have specifically created a solution that does not require any additional software to be downloaded or installed from TextAnywhere. You can easily integrate our service with your current website or application and get sending messages within minutes.  

· Ways you could use our services:

Our text messaging services can be used by pretty much any website or application. For instance, if you are running an e-commerce site you can integrate our web service to send your customers an automated confirmation as soon as they have placed an order, or delivery advice to let them know when their order has been dispatched.

Another use is for businesses who offer a maintenance provision such as laptop repair or vehicle mechanics. Simply set up our text solution to deliver a SMS message to your customers at every step of the repair process, such as an acknowledgment receipt for the product that requires maintenance, regular updates on the repair status, and followed by confirmation that the items has been dispatched or is ready to pick-up.

There are endless other uses for our web services. If you would like to find out more about these services please visit our Developer Partner section or call our Customer Care team on 08451 221 302. 

Our HTTP(S) service is one of the three API’s or Application Programming Interfaces available to our clients alongside our web and SMTP services. The goal of all three of these services is to enable our clients to combine our web SMS services with their existing web sites and applications. This allows for smooth and hassle free integration between the two.

The HTTP(S) connector specifically lets you send and receive SMS messages within your website or application using our simple HTTP(S) command. The (S) denotes the ability to use SSL encryption to send and receive your messages securely.  

Here are some of the main highlights of our HTTP(S) service:

·  You can send extended length text messages that appear as a single SMS on your recipients’ handset.

·  You can choose whether you want your messages to appear from a long number (traditional mobile style number), a short code, or an 11 character text string.

·  Receive replies swiftly to your messages regardless of whether you are using HTTP (non-secure) or HTTPS (secure).

· Easily check the delivery status of your messages so that you know immediately whether they have been received by the desired recipient. You also have the option to check a single message in particular as opposed to checking in bulk.

· Receive messages from your customers to your chosen long or short code number. This is particularly good for responding to orders or customer enquiries.

For more information on using our HTTP(S) service please visit our Developer Centre or contact a member of our Customer Care team on 08451 221 302.

TextAnywhere supply a range of SMS services to suit our clients’ different needs. These services are offered to our clients to help them manage their marketing campaigns with ease. However, some of our clients prefer a different approach in which they offer our products to their own customers as part of their own SMS service. This is where White Label SMS service comes in. With our White Label package users can have access to all the applications listed in the products section of the main TextAnywhere website. These features can then be utilised in the way you best see fit to help you run your own SMS service. 

It is also possible to change the names of our products to a name of your choice to help put a more personal stamp on your service and match with your overall branding strategy. In addition, our company identification will not feature anywhere on the products you supply. 

Alongside the selection of SMS services we provide, we also offer a developer toolkit which allows you to integrate our text-messaging services into any existing applications or websites you may have. 

Here are some of the features that our toolkit provides:

• The ability to send SMS messages and receive replies.

• Track the delivery status of your messages.

• As well as sending free-to-receive messages you can also set up reverse-billed messages.

Users of our White Label service also have access to their own customisable dashboard which helps you to manage all of your services including tracking client accounts and authorising their purchases. We are even able to support international businesses who are thinking of using White Label with certain features available such as setting various time zones and the language messages are sent in.

If you have any more questions about our White Label service then please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Service team on 08451 221 302, or visit our website for more details.

We offer several SMS marketing tools to our customers however, we know that the best solution for your company may be to use your own which is why we also make our SMS Gateway available through an API. The TextAnywhere SMS Gateway API has been designed to work with virtually every development environment, including .NET, PHP, Java and Ruby on Rails. Visit the developer centre for code samples and instructions on how to integrate your application with our system.

• Send SMS messages
• Receive replies
• Use of your own short code or long number
• Find out the delivery status of every text message
• Personalise the sent from field (aka the originator field)
• Choice of free-to-receive messages or reverse billing messages

There are a few services which can be used with our API toolkit; using our SMTP service you can send out your messages from any application that can send and receive emails. There are only a few simple steps to follow to send SMS text messages in this way:

• Send us an email with your recipients numbers also in the ‘To’ field of your email with the provided domain added to them (e.g. 07002200055@domain.net)
• Write only your message content in the body of the email
• Send the email and we will verify your details and extract the recipients details (numbers and message) to send out the text straight away
• You can also receive replies back to your email application

We also have a HTTPS service where you can send and receive messages using a single HTTP(S) command from within your application or website. See our send SMS guide for instructions on how to send out your messages with this service.

You only pay for the messages you send out; there are no set-up fees and no contracts, our API is completely free to use too!
