How Does It Work?
Inbound SMS numbers are Virtual Mobile Numbers. They enable your SMS account to receive SMS as well as send them. It works just like a normal mobile number, however instead of replies going to a hand-set, they are routed to our platform. You lease one or more mobile numbers from directSMS. Choose from standard numbers or a range of ‘reserved numbers’, which are the easiest to remember.
Use your phone or tablet to send bulk messages through directSMS
When an SMS message is received on your Inbound SMS number, you can choose to:
- View the message online
- Receive the message as an email in real time
- Forwarded to a URL via a HTTP GET call. Great for building apps or automation around SMS interactions
- Retrieved by one of our APIs
- Processed by our system to do Keyword based campaigns, auto repsonse or opt-in/opt-out marketing
