SMS Requirements
Use one of the following types of SMS gateways:
Web based SMS
Use a custom web based service that allows sending SMS messages via SMTPSimple Mail Transport Protocol or subscribe to a supported web based SMS provider:
- Message Media - For more information refer to Message Media SMS service.
- Clickatell - For more information refer to Clickatell web based service.
Note that web based SMS setups are usually quicker and easier to setup than purchasing and installing GSMGlobal System for Mobile Communications devices.
Network-connected SMS servers
GFI FaxMaker integrates with MultiTech MultiModem® iSMS which is a network-connected device for sending and receiving SMS. For more information refer to MultiTech MultiModem® iSMS SMS Server.
GSM modem
Use a supported GSM modem connected to the GFI FaxMaker fax server machine. Using a GSM SMS modem enables sending SMS even when the internet connection is down. You can also receive messages, which may not be possible with certain web-based SMS gateway.
