Using SOAP to connect to our gateway Easy integration and HTTP/HTTPS compatibility
SOAP is a protocol for exchanging XML-based messages using HTTP/HTTPS. SOAP forms the foundation
layer of the web services protocol stack providing a basic messaging framework upon which abstract layers can be built.
What you can do when you connect using SOAP:
Like all our APIs, the SOAP connection supports text, Unicode, binary SMS and flash messaging.
It gives you support for extended length messages.
You're able to use our converters to turn ringtones and logos into the correct format.
You can use our VCard and VCal converters.
Delivery acknowledgement and sender ID can be set up.
You will have access to gateway escalation which prompts an escalation to an alternative delivery gateway, should the message be delayed for a predefined length of time, and queuing which lets you specify up to 3 prioritised queues according to which your messages will be sent out.
Delivery delay gives you the ability to specify a delay of up to 7 days when sending messages.
There's no charge to connect to our gateway using the SOAP API. To send messages via the gateway you need
simply to purchase message credits. The cost of these varies depending on the volume purchased and the destination you intend sending to.
We have a convenient calculator to help you calculate your message costs.
