TWO-WAY SMS MESSAGING

Vodacom Developer Zone offers bidirectional (two-way) messaging to selected global destinations. This will allow you to rapidly deploy two-way SMS applications in conjunction with Vodacom Developer Zone's mobile (MT) services.

Integration with Vodacom Developer Zone for bidirectional SMS services is simple, and incoming messages can be routed to your application via HTTP, FTP or SMPP protocols. This means that incoming messages (MO messages) can be managed by your own software or database, giving you full flexibility. We also support a simple single SMS reply, if you don't have your own hosting facilities

Vodacom Developer Zone's bidirectional messaging can seamlessly integrate with your existing or new Vodacom Developer Zone account, binding into the same account details that you are using to deliver messages to your recipients. For more information on integrating two-way SMS please download:
