SMPP bind_transceiver

SMPP (Short Message Peer-to-Peer) is an open, industry standard protocol designed to provide a flexible data communications interface for the transfer of short message data between External Short Message Entities (ESME), Routing Entities (RE) and Message Centres (MC). The SMPP protocol is a means by which applications can send SMS messages to mobile devices and receive SMS from mobile devices.

4.1.1.5 bind_transceiver Syntax

The format of the SMPP bind_transceiver PDU is defined in the following table.

SMPP Clients

Send and receive SMS using an SMPP account and browser-based SMPP client.

* SMPP session between web browser and provider.

SMS Code Bench

SMS messaging code sample and development playground. Collection of editable and runnable code samples in a variety of languages for different SMS interactions.
SMS Code Bench >

Send SMS programmatically with SMPP

Send SMS programmatically with SMPP using Python, Java, Go, Perl, C++, C#, Node.js, Ruby and PHP.

SMPP Load Test

Perform an SMS load test using SMPP from your web browser and view the results in realtime. SMPP Load Test tool submits SMS messages using SMPP at the specified rate. Messages are sent to one or more mobile numbers in a range from a single source address or range of source addresses.
Use the online SMPP Load Test tool >

SMPP Analyser

The SMPP Analyser acts as an SMPP proxy, with the client application binding to the service and the service onward binding to the SMSC or SMS Gateway. Packet captures can be viewed in your browser or exported into Wireshark.
Use the online SMPP Analyser >

Message Hub
