USA Premium SMS - Micro-Billing for Online Transactions

txtNation USA Micro-Billing for Online Transactions

If you are looking to just change via Premium SMS, we recommend mBILL. This will enable you to display a short code number at a cost you can set on your site with a keyword. e.g. Text PAY to 60842.

If you are looking to charge via other Micro-Billing options (inc. IVR, Credit Card, etc), we recommend mENABLE. mENABLE (www.m-enable.com) is a solution that caters for all such billing options in the one web based platform.

SMPP – Premium SMS USA

The Short Message Peer-to-Peer Protocol (SMPP) is a socket-based, open, industry-standard protocol, designed for sending two-way SMS traffic. SMPP is the recommended connection interface for clients who are already familiar with this protocol or who would prefer not to program in Java. This is another option for Premium SMS in the USA.

Designed for sending SMS, SMPP offers all the features available in the lower-level messaging protocols. The mBILL SMPP server has been built in-house by our messaging experts, so it provides the same features, throughput and latency of the other connection types we deploy.

SMPP over SSL
Customers in need of watertight security, such as financial institutions and payment providers, can use our SMPP over SSL (Secure Socket Layer). SSL is the same proven encryption layer used by online banking services, so your data is encrypted while traversing the public Internet.

Virtual SMS / SIM in the USA with txtNation

Virtual SMS (or also known as a Virtual SIM) is a hosted, turn-key solution that is affordable and quick to launch.

Virtual SMS number, also called a Long Code is a channel through which SMS messages from any mobile phone can be received by an application. Virtual SMS numbers are similar to any other valid mobile telephone number. In contrast to Short Codes (which are usually 4-6 digits long), Virtual SMS Long Codes are 10-12 digits long (depending on the country).

Virtual SMS enables you to receive and process SMS without the use of Short Codes. With a virtual SMS account you get a dedicated number to which your end users can send text messages for further processing.

txtNation offers Virtual SMS numbers in many countries including the US, Canada and the UK. When you create a Virtual SMS number with our service, one or more dedicated numbers are assigned to it. When your customers send messages to your dedicated Virtual SMS number, messages are received by our service and forwarded to your account. These messages can also be forwarded to an external application using HTTP-POST.
