Send SMS with SMPP using Java

The jsmpp library can be used to make SMPP requests using Java. This library's higher-level functions can be used to synchronously submit SMS to an SMS gateway or SMSC.

SMPP requirements

SMPP is the Short Message Peer-to-Peer protocol for conveying SMS operations. An SMPP account can easily be obtained for using the Tyr SMS Gateway or SMSC Simulator. The following are required to send SMS with SMPP:

• SMPP API account - SMPP API account for the Melrose Labs Tyr SMS Gateway
• SMPP API account (simulator) - SMPP API account for the Melrose Labs SMSC Simulator (simulate inbound and outbound SMS delivery)

Java requirements

Ruby is a programming language and can be used to quickly and easily add SMS support for programmatically sending and receiving SMS messages. The following are required to send SMS using Java:

• Java - Java programming language

Requirements

The following are required to send SMS with SMPP using Java:

• jSMPP - jSMPP Java Library

Code

Create the file SimpleSubmitExample.java containing the code below. Replace the hostname smscsim.melroselabs.com, port 2775, SYSTEMID and PASSWORD values with those from your SMPP API account. Alternatively, replace SYSTEMID and PASSWORD with those allocated to you for use with the Melrose Labs SMSC Simulator.

The following example Java code opens an SMPP transmitter bind to smscsim.melroselabs.com on port 2775 (SMPP port), and then sends the message Hello World #$£ to mobile number 447712345678 from MelroseLabs. The message ID returned in messageId is that returned from the SMS gateway or SMSC after a successful submission. The SMPP system ID and password for the SMPP account are contained in SYSTEMID and PASSWORD respectively.
