Android SMS Gateway technology makes your business communication system powerful and more effective. Check out the list above and find out why Ozeki Android SMS Gateway is the best.

1. Supports GSM 7-bit SMS

   The standard encoding for GSM messages is the 7-bit default alphabet, which contains English characters and a few international characters for Western Europe and Greece. These characters are defined in the ETSI GSM 03.38 standard. (International characters refer to the unicode character set, which contains special symbols and characters.)

   In GSM SMS system, an SMS message can contain up to 140 bytes (standard 8-bit bytes) of message data. The 7-bit SMS alphabet allows you to send 160 characters in this 140 bytes. This means that, when you send a text message, as long as the text only contains characters that are included in the GSM 7-bit character set, 160 7-bit characters are compressed into 140 8-bit bytes to produce the 160-character limit that we are so familiar with. (Note: 160 * 7 = 140 * 8). Get more information about GSM 7-bit SMS messages.

2. Supports Unicode SMS

   If you want to send a message, which contains characters that are not part of the GSM 7-bit character set, the full text of the SMS needs to be encoded in the Unicode UCS-2-character set. The unicode character set can be used to send special symbols and characters of all languages including Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic, special Eastern-European characters, etc.

   In the UCS-2-character set, each character is encoded with 16-bits (or two 8-bit bytes). It means that an SMS message is limited to 70 16-bit Unicode characters (70 * 16 = 140 * 8). Learn more about Unicode SMS messages.

3. Supports multipart SMS

   If a message is larger than 140 8-bit bytes, then there are segmentation and reassembly standards defined, where a single logical message can be sent over the air using multiple physical SMS messages. The receiving client then has the ability to reassemble the segmented message so that it again appears as a single message on the receiving device.

   When a long text message is segmented into multiple physical SMS messages, a special header is added to each physical SMS message so that the receiving client knows that it is a multipart SMS message that must be reassembled by the client. These headers are known as segmentation or concatenation headers or SAR headers.

   If you send a long text message containing only characters that are part of the GSM 03.38-character set, then each SMS segment can contain up to 153 characters. (140 bytes - 6 bytes for the concatenation header leaves 134 available bytes, or 7 * 134 = 1072 bits. The most 7-bit characters that can be packed into 1072 bits is 153.)

   If you send a long text message that includes any characters that require Unicode encoding, then each SMS segment can contain up to 67 characters (67 * 16 = 1072 bits). Find out more about multipart SMS.

4. Provides delivery reports

   Delivery reports are messages, which show the accurate status of your sent messages. In this way you can receive delivery reports when the message arrives at the SMSC (SMS centre of a Mobile Service Provider). This is called "Delivered to network" status. "Delivered to handset" report means that the message is received on the mobile device of the recipient.

5. Supports SMPP 3.4 protocol

   Short Message Peer to Peer (SMPP) protocol is an open, industry standard protocol designed to provide a flexible data communications interface for transfer of short message data between some type of Message Centre, such as Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) and an SMS application system, such as Ozeki Android SMPP SMS Gateway. Ozeki Android SMPP SMS Gateway supports SMPP 3.4 protocol. SMPP connection between a PC and the SMSC.

7. Enables message queues

   Ozeki Android SMPP SMS Gateway allows you to define the message queuing process. Message queuing provides an asynchronous communications protocol, which means that the sender and receiver of the message do not need to interact with the message queue at the same time. Waiting messages can be queued easily with this functionality. Messages placed onto the queue are stored until the recipient retrieves them.

8. Access messages arrive, when your SMPP client was not connected

   Since you can send and receive SMS messages through Ozeki Android SMPP SMS Gateway, your smartphone, on which you have installed the application, works as a server. The client-side is Ozeki NG SMS Gateway, as this software allows you to compose and send SMS messages.
