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. 

TextAnywhere’s web integrated SMS services are designed specifically for customers who want the ease of combining our text message services with their own pre-existing applications and websites. If this sounds like something you would be interested in then keep reading!

Our SMS gateway API is the tool used to enable our clients and developer partners to send automated SMS messages from their website or application. It supports three types of interface: these are our HTTP(S) service, SMTP service and our SOAP web service. These services allow clients to perform such activities as sending and receiving text messages, control message features such as free-to-receive and reverse-billing options, and check the delivery status of messages.

But why should you choose our web messaging functions?

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!
