Creating SMS SMPP Channels

You send SMS using your own password-protected channels that connect you to the CommPeak platform for SMS messaging. You can create up to 10 channels for your brand advertisements, business promotions, transaction confirmations, end-user alerts, or other SMS events.

To create an SMS channel:

  1. Expand SMS in the main menu on the left.
  2. Click SMS SMPP Channels. 
  3. Initially, the system will notify you that you have no channels and invite you to create one. Click CREATE SMS CHANNEL.

  • Gold - this product with an adequate delivery level provides good quality routes and supports some default sender IDs like alpha name or just numeric.
  • Wholesale - this product provides good quality routes with only numeric sender IDs, mostly SIM box termination. Transactional and promotional routes are also available.

Prices of outbound SMS messages are available on the Pricing page. To open it, click PRICING in the main menu on the left. Then go to the SMS tab.

The newly created channel will appear on the SMS page. You can add up to ten channels by clicking on the plus button next to the number of channels.
Edit or delete your channels by clicking on the edit or delete buttons at the end of the channel line. For instance, when a specific SMS campaign has ended, you could either rename an associated channel or create a new one for the next campaign.

IMPORTANT

You also need to integrate the SMS channel with your business portal or CRM system via the SMPP protocol.

Make sure to review SMPP Documentation. It's also available by the link at the bottom of the page. If you need our assistance, ‍don't hesitate to, ‍contact the support. 

The next step is to test your channels‍.
