Spatch SMSC Input Options |
|
The Spatch SMSC solution supports various types of
message input to send messages to wireless subscribers, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Telephone Inputs |
|
|
TAP Input |
TAP
(Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol) is the protocol used by most "paging" or
"text-messaging" software. In the U.S, all alphanumeric paging providers
offer TAP input. With Spatch SMSC, message senders can use standard TAP software
to send text messages to your subscribers'
wireless phones. Your customers can get TAP-supported packages that will operate
in practically any computing environment (NT, UNIX, Windows, etc.) |

|
|
Internet Inputs |
|
|
Web Page |
Spatch SMSC allows
input from a web browser. Message "senders" can simply go to your web
page to send a text message to one of your wireless subscribers. Spatch
SMSC includes a web page design that can be incorporated into your website.
You (the carrier) can customize the Spatch SMSC web page to fit the look
of your website. When using the web page, users will simply
input the subscriber's MIN #, the message, and their name. Once the
sender selects SEND, the message will be sent to the appropriate wireless
user.

|
|
|
|
E-mail |
Spatch SMSC permits sending messages via e-mail.
Message "senders" can send an e-mail to one of your subscribers at
min#@sms.yourcompany.com. The message is read and formatted by Spatch SMSC, and
then sent to the designated subscriber's wireless phone.
Spatch SMSC also
offers Delivery Confirmation. If the "sender" puts a reference number (REF 1234)
in the subject of the e-mail message, the Spatch SMS system will send a
confirming e-mail (back to the sender) once the subscriber's phone has
successfully received the message.
