In the glossary, you can read about what a gateway is, different types of alphabets, sending SMS online, and learn all the definitions that interest you. You will also understand how to send SMS online.

SMS

Short Message Service allows mobile subscribers to send and receive short text messages using a mobile phone. The length of a text message written in Latin characters is 160 characters, including spaces and other symbols. When writing text messages using Cyrillic characters, the message length is reduced to 70 characters.

Credit

An internal unit of account in the service, equivalent to one standard SMS (160 Latin characters or 70 Cyrillic characters).

Character in a Message

A single text character, including spaces, punctuation marks, and line breaks.

Latin Character

One of the characters in the Latin alphabet:
$@^/|~_[]{}"'-=+!#%&*(),.?;:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890

Cyrillic Character

One of the characters in the Cyrillic alphabet:
№`абвгґідєеёжзийїклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюяАБВГҐІДЄЕЁЖЗИЙЇКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЪЫЬЭЮЯ

Sending SMS

The process by which a single SMS message is sent to a mobile network operator, who then delivers the message to a mobile subscriber.

SMS Mailing

Similar to sending SMS, except the message is sent to more than one recipient.

Template-based SMS Mailing

A service that allows sending SMS messages using a predefined template. The template stores prepared values for each recipient. During mailing, the values from the template are automatically inserted into the message text. For this, use %% in the text where placeholders 1,2,3, etc., are inserted. For example, the first row in the template contains the following values:

  1. Column - +380110000000
  2. Column - Full Name
  3. Column - Bonus Amount

Write the text and template markers in the message. For example: “Dear %1%, your %2% has been doubled.”. After sending, the subscriber +380110000000 will receive the message: “Dear Full Name, your bonus amount has been doubled.”

Template

A .csv file storing phone numbers and text templates mapped to each number. During mailing, the template values are automatically inserted into the message text. Templates can be created using Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc. To create a template, open a new spreadsheet document. In the first column, enter phone numbers, one per cell. In the second and subsequent columns, enter text templates next to each number. Save the file as “.csv, comma-separated.”

CSV File

A file type that stores template data.

WAP-PUSH

WAP-PUSH is a technology that allows sending a WAP site link or downloadable content in the SMS body. Upon receiving such a message, the recipient can view your text and open the link in their phone browser with one click. A drawback of this technology is that the message can only be read once and is then deleted from the phone.

Delivery Report

Allows tracking the status of an SMS message after it is sent to the subscriber.

Message Status
