SMS Script

[Tamashi]

Just a quick question. I've been using www.smscity.com for quite some years now. Does anyone have a bold idea how this is done? How do you send messages and such, if you're not an operator yourself? I remember a few years ago that I had some free SMS script, which later stopped working for some unknown reason.

Anyway, the question just is: How do you manage to send messages to phones, without being an operator?

You pay for the delivery
Based on volume and country it's usually 5-15cents or more per text

its not possible someone has to be paying the carriers for the sms's

It is absolutely possible, but you need to own your own short code...which is a very long and tedious process. Once you have obtained the short code and all the carriers have approved you for whatever type of content you are planning to send on that short code, you can then send out the messages via several types of platforms. If you want to send messages that dont require and operator then you need to find a company that has the message sending platform...MX Telecom is a very good one.
Keep in mind you will need to pay a tiny fee to the MX Telecom and a much larger fee to the carriers for every message you send. You end up paying out about 52% of your earnings, but it's well worth it if you have the volume and you can stay carrier compliant.
