The PSWinCom SMS Gateway service has currently the following available client interfaces:

XML over TCP/HTTP:
XML formatted messages can be transfered directly to the SMS Gateway by using a TCP socket or as an HTTP(S) POST.

HTTP/HTTPS:
Messages of any type can be sent using a single HTTP POST or GET operation. HTTPS SSL encryption is also available.

WebService (SOAP):
Send text SMS using a single WebService method call. Most new development tools/languages (such as MS Visual Studio / .NET) have direct support for calling WebServices over the Internet.

SMTP E-Mail:
Messages can be sent to the PSWinCom SMS Gateway by using ordinary Internet Mail. Three different SMTP/mail interfaces/formats are available (Routed, Simple and XML).

Incoming SMS:
The PSWinCom SMS Gateway offers the same easy way of receiving SMS messages as with sending. This is also known as MO (Mobile Originated) messages. It is typically used to let mobile users reply to SMS messages, or query information services. You can receive SMS by using the Gateway Client Component, HTTP or XML, or just read incoming messages on the account web. We can assign a shared access number and code word, or a dedicated number for your account. Please contact sales@pswin.com for details and setup.

Modem entry:
The PSWinCom SMS Gateway has also its own dedicated modem entry, which makes it possible to send SMS using a dial up modem connection instead of an Internet connection. UCP protocol is used. This interface is delivered as a separate PSWinCom product.
