Short Messaging Capability in the Shortest time

SMS - Short Message Service
Short Message Service (SMS) is the ability to send and receive text messages to and from mobile phones. The text can comprise of words, numbers, or an alphanumeric combination. Each short message can be up to 160 characters in length. Often SMS Mobile Terminal Services are offered along with voice mail notifications, which account for the vast majority of SMS traffic on the network.

Advantages of SMS 

  • SMS is an inexpensive method of communication. 

  • 160 characters take up as much room as a one-second-voice call. 

  • Messages are delivered immediately when the recipient's phone is turned on. 

  • Messages get stored and delivered later if the recipient's phone is not on. 

  • Like e-mail, they can also be reviewed or stored in your phone for as long as you wish.

SMS Applications 
SMS is effective when used to provide commercial services. Among the most common services offered are newsflashes, sports, travel advisories and information like flight timings and status, and many more. SMS has the unique advantage of being the only media available to notify users of events, till WAP push gets deployed.

SMS Applications can be built by interfacing them to an SMSC, which is the central component in an SMS network. However there are many SMSCs and each vendor's SMSC supports its own protocol. Standard protocols are not widely used and application complexity increases due to these diverse protocols platforms and environments.

A Jataayu SMS Gateway hides these complexities by translating SMSC specific protocols into industry standard HTTP format. The use of web-based environment for SMS applications also means that most standard HTML web-applications can be adapted easily to start providing services over SMS.
