What is an SMSC?
SMSC is an abbreviation for the words Short Message Service Centre. An SMSC provides a number of services, in particular the regulation of the transfer of text messages between mobile phones. When a user sends a text message (SMS message) to a recipient, the phone actually sends the message to the SMSC. The SMSC stores the message and then delivers it to the destination recipient when they are available. The SMSC usually has a configurable time limit for how long it will store the message, and the user can usually specify a shorter time limit if they want. Additionally the message centre will take care of any charging that needs to take place. Generally speaking there is at least one Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) per network. For bulk transmission and reception of SMS messages, SMSC's have conventional, fixed, network interfaces as well as mobile network interfaces. A number of protocols have been defined to support this sort of wire-line access. SMPP is the most commonly used of these protocols.
ClickSMS.info & SMSC Gateways
In most cases ClickSMS.info is not pre-disposed to any particular SMSC. This is due to the fact that ClickSMS.info has multiple international partners and connects to their SMSC's through a variety of different protocols. Effectively, this means that ClickSMS.info allows users access to global destination networks through a single point of entry and account management system. As a result, in the event of one message centre not being available, ClickSMS.info can opt to send through other SMS gateways, ensuring that your messages reach their recipients in both a reliable and timely manner.
