SMS Enabler Features

  • Uses a GSM or 3G modem or dongle, connected to a computer, to receive SMS messages and send replies. The modem/dongle can be connected to a PC via USB, Bluetooth or COM port (RS-232). Some of the feature phones can be used too. Android or Apple smartphones are not supported.
  • Supports automatically dispatching received SMS text messages to a web server via HTTP, so those messages can be handled by a server-side script. The script can be written in any web programming language, such as PHP, ASP.NET and so forth. Secure HTTP (HTTPS) is also supported. Read more about SMS to Web server.
