API SMS

Outbound SMS

When you send an SMS to a phone number belonging to an end user's device you are sending an Outbound SMS. Historically, this was and still is referred to as a Mobile Terminated (MT) SMS, though nowadays an SMS is not always sent to a mobile device. In an Outbound SMS you can set the From or Sender field with whatever you have registered or purchased with Infobip, either a Long Number, Short Code, or text based Sender.

Send a message

99% of all use cases can be achieved by using this API method. Everything from sending a simple single message to a single destination, up to batch sending of personalized messages to the thousands of recipients with a single API request. Language, transliteration, scheduling and every advanced feature you can think of is supported.

Send single or multiple binary messages to one or more destination address.

All message parameters of the message can be defined in the query string. Use this method only if Send SMS message is not an option for your use case!
Note: Make sure that special characters and user credentials are properly encoded. Use a URL encoding reference as a guide.

Avoid unpleasant surprises and check how different message configurations will affect your message text, number of characters and message parts.
