Discover the benefits of an SMS Gateway - your bridge to the mobile network operators

What is an SMS Gateway?

An SMS Gateway enables businesses to send and receive text messages via their own software and systems. It acts as a bridge between the company and the mobile network operators, allowing messages to be sent and received to and from any mobile device. SMS Gateways can be used for a variety of purposes, such as sending promotional messages, appointment reminders, and notifications to customers and employees. An SMS Gateway works by connecting the business's software or application to the mobile network operator's SMS Center through a series of APIs and protocols. The SMS Gateway acts as an intermediary that receives messages from the company and sends them to the mobile network operator, which in turn delivers them to the recipient's mobile device. Similarly, the Gateway also receives messages from the mobile network operator and forwards them to the business's software or application.

LEKAB's SMS Gateway provides a secure and reliable way to send and receive text messages to and from your customers or employees. All you need is an internet connection and access to our user-friendly Web Portal or APIs. Our Gateway is easy to integrate into any system (see integrations). 

Features and functionality

An SMS Gateway supports a wide range of features and functionality, such as two-way messaging, delivery reports, and the ability to send messages to multiple recipients at once (bulk messages). Additionally, SMS Gateways can be integrated with various APIs, such as REST, SOAP, and SMPP, to enable seamless integration with the business's software and systems. With real-time messaging, businesses can send time-sensitive information to their customers or employees, such as alerts and notifications.

Choosing the right SMS Gateway provider

When choosing an SMS Gateway provider, it's important to consider factors such as reliability, security, and ease of use. Look for a provider that offers a user-friendly interface, easy integration with your software or application, and 24/7 technical support. Additionally, ensure that the provider offers high message delivery rates, i.e. quality SMS and secure message transmission to protect sensitive data.
