PointShift SMS API

PointShift understand that the business requirements for SMS vary greatly but reliability is always a key consideration. A large number of low cost bulk carriers are crowding the marketplace and in order to provide low cost messaging these companies route messages through overseas gateways. The result is poor reliability and lack of coverage, subsequently the end users of these applications loose confidence in the associated system.

PointShift only make use of carrier grade connections directly with UK operators. Our partners, MBlox and Orange, have highly resilient infrastructures optimised to provide the comprehensive SMS routing and delivery reporting that is required for business critical systems.
