Frequently Asked Questions
SMS stands for Short Message Service, commonly referred to as "text messaging". The term API means Application Program Interface.
An SMS API allows you to integrate between mobile texting carriers and a variety of applications and custom solutions in order to quickly, easily and efficiently send and receiving text messages.
An SMS message is up to 160 characters, or up to 70 characters if the message contains one or more Unicode characters (such as emojis).
Bulk SMS messaging is when you send high-volume text messages to large lists of recipients. Sunwire can provide you with all the documentation, tools and support required to get started with any automated texting project.
SMS marketing is done through SMS API commands and allows users to send marketing messages directly to customers' mobile devices via SMS or text message.
These types of marketing includes promotional content, discounts and coupon codes, product announcements, reminders and more.
You came to the right place. First, get setup with an SMS API provider such as Sunwire. We will then provide you an API key and a telephone number (DID) to send messages from. You decide what you want to send and how you want to say it then write your code to connect to the API and start sending.
Most applications already have an API for easy integration. The amount of time taken to integrate with custom solutions depends on the complexity of the project to be implemented. Do not worry though - we're here to help!
SMS APIs send and receive SMS or MMS messages via HTTP requests. They act as a connection between two systems: an application/software/custom solution and mobile telecommunications carrier networks.
Additionally, they also convert messages to a format that can be read and understood by specific applications when users respond to messages.
You can use business texting with a few different number types:
-
10DLC: 10-digit long codes are numbers with a local prefix, like 705-521-6777.
-
Short Codes: 5-6 digit codes (16777) that are easy to remember and used for SMS and MMS.
-
Toll-Free Numbers: 10-digit numbers that have a standard prefix like 800 or 833 (1-833-727-6777).
Sunwire can provide you with any of the above number types.
