Two-Way SMS Messaging
Receive inbound text messages direct to your system applications.

Clickatell makes extending your messaging capabilities with two-way SMS simple. You can easily receive messages by making use of our HTTP, SMPP or FTP application programming interfaces, and you can do it from the same account you already use to send messages no matter what connection you are already using.

Two-way messaging requirements:

Sign up for a Clickatell API account.
You can then apply for a two-way messaging from inside your account by filling out an applicatio n form. This will require you to rent a number from Clickatell to route all your inbound messages. Download the two-way technical guide for more info.

How two-way messaging can help you:

Bidirectional messaging binds onto the same account that you use to deliver messages to your recipients, so you can manage everything easily from one account.
Clickatell's two-way technical guide will tell you exactly how to integrate two-way messaging by making use of the HTTP, SMPP or FTP connections.
Clickatell's two-way messaging is currently available in over 100 countries.
To check whether your country and destination networks are covered please view our two-way SMS coverage.

What does it cost?

There is a small switching cost for receiving inbound messages which is currently set at 1/3 of a credit. Outbound messages are charged at the normal rates.

In addition to this there is a once-off setup fee together with a fixed monthly rental for renting a two-way number from Clickatell which you will need to receive messages. These costs vary depending on the type of number you choose. Read more on two-way numbers and pricing.
