EnterpriseSMS API offers simple and efficient method for connecting corporate applications to the global SMS networks without having to deal with telecom contracts, routing and complex messaging protocols. Upside runs a highly reliable, redundant, telecommunications platform called SideWinderSMS which connects to all global SMS networks. The EnterpriseSMS API attaches to this proprietary platform and exposes minimal set of functions needed to deliver your messages to any mobile phone on the Planet. Similarly, mobile originated messages (such as replies) can be delivered to your application using the same method.

Your applications can take advantage of this common and well understood protocol to send and receive messages as per your business requirements.
