[asterisk-biz] FlexTalk Long Codes aka virtual mobile numbers for sms & mobile interactions

[Thomas Sullivan]

Bruce,

I am one of the co-founders of TSG, we launched sms enabled did's aka  long codes as a product before any other company I am aware of in North America
In November of 2008. 

As an early adopter of Long Codes in North America (before Google Voice & Twilio) TSG has obtained a majority market share in the North American long codes vertical & has developed a customer provisioning, management & reporting interface accessible  via a WEB GUI & myriad of API's that is arguably 2nd to none. We currently support approximately 300 service providers, operators, mobile applications providers & SMS aggregators throughout North America and Internationally.

We would love the opportunity to set up an educational / discovery call to discuss your requirements and how the mobile interactions landscape in North America is rapidly changing and to discuss why businesses are choosing to replace or augment short codes for mobile interactions with Long Code technology. Including how long codes provide businesses the ability to better serve the mobile consumer centric market via the multitude of advantages vs. short codes including HLP (Hyper- Local Presence) with FlexTalk(r) SMS and the Long Code.

I look forward to getting your feedback and please feel free to call me directly or let me know a time that is convenient for an educational / discovery call.

Sincerely,

Tom  Sullivan

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for an inbound SMS provider that provides some sort of API
to retrieve inbound messages. I expect international messages and want to
process the content through Asterisk afterwards. Vitality provides SMS
service but it doesn't have an API to retrieve messages and one must
download their messenger to receive SMS which doesn't work for me.

Regards,
Bruce

I had heard that Vitelity was compatible with XMPP protocol for their SMS
setup, but I've never tested it.

An alternative would be Bandwidth.com and an SMPP connection to them. You
could setup an SMSC server with Kannel to do the SMPP bind and then send
that data to Asterisk.

Level3 also provides SMPP services for their DIDs.

If you wanted to do it on a grand scale, get your own SPID, then setup an
account with an aggregator such as Syniverse, Sybase365, or Iris.
