How you can read delivery reports in the SMS Gateway
On this page you can find detailed information on how you can enable a function in Ozeki NG SMS Gateway that will allow you to read delivery reports coming from the the SMS center. Please follow the instructions to enable this function properly.
Introduction
If you sent out an SMS message from a mobile device or
an application, Ozeki NG SMS Gateway will forward it to the mobile network
either with GSM modem connection or
IP SMS connection. In the first case,
there is one or more GSM modem attached to the PC with a datacable. IP SMS
connection means that the SMS gateway connects directly to the SMS center
(SMSC) of the mobile service provider over the Internet.
Delivery reports are messages that show the exact status of your sent
messages. In this way you can receive delivery reports when the message
arrives at the SMSC (SMS center of a mobile service provider). This is
called "Delivered to network" status. Or there is a "Delivered to handset"
report when the message is received on the mobile device of the recipient.
This guide provides instructions on how you can enable the function that
allows you to read delivery reports about the fact that your sent message
has been forwarded to the mobile phone of the recipient.
