Two-Way SMS

If combined with our two-way service the Email to SMS gateway becomes a bidirectional service allowing two-way communication between email and mobile phone.

From Windows/Mac

Once setup using the service could not be easier. From your favorite email client simply select create a new message.

In this example on Microsoft Outlook, this is achieved by clicking the New button on the top left of the application.

Now address the message as show in the second image. The mobile number should be specified in international format, this is a UK mobile number starting 077... and has had the leading 0 replaced with the UK dialing code 44.

Now enter the subject and message as you would normally, but remember 160 characters is the limit as a default, however you may increase what the maximum message length restriction is on the options page.

All that remains to be done is for you to click send.

Documentaion

From Linux/UNIX

UNIX offers very powerful scripting features making it very simple to send a message manually or more usefully, automatically to the SMS gateway. Since there are so many varied ways to send messages we will provide only one simple command line example here:

echo "Server CRITICAL at `date`" | mail 447797000123@sms.world-text.com

If you require any further help then we have UNIX experts available who can provide consultancy to help develop your own scripts or programs in almost all well known languages including, bourne-shell, C, C++, Perl, PHP and Python.

From A Web Page/PHP

If you want to send messages from your own web page, then this can be achieved simply in PHP by using the built in mail command. If you require a sample PHP script then please contact us and we will be happy to email one out to you.
