Clickatell has teamed up with enterprise software leaders, Oracle, to provide a simple mobile messaging channel for the Oracle Application Server Wireless and Oracle Collaboration Suite. Two connection methods are available to connect OracleAS Wireless with the Clickatell Gateway. Both use default drivers that ship with the OracleAS Wireless and require a permanent internet connection.
XMS Web Service:
The XMS Web service is recommended for those only requiring mobile terminated text messaging. The XMS Web service requires that you sign up for a Clickatell HTTP account.
SMPP Service:
The SMPP Service is suitable for high volume, two-way messaging, with minimum volumes of 5000 messages per month. The SMPP service requires that you sign up for a Clickatell SMPP account.
A comparison of the two services is shown below.
