SMS Delivery

With SMS Delivery you can send messages to your clients or subscribers free of charge for the receiver. You can send messages to large amounts of users simul-taneously. SMS Delivery is one-way communication, from you to your clients/subscribers. This form of SMS is normally used for information purposes, but can also be used together with mobile content like ringtones and WAP push. We have coverage in more than 160 countries and 530 network providers.

ViaNett offers more than 30 international SMS routes. All routes have different quality, features, coverage and prices. Let ViaNett take control over the routing process, or handle the routing yourself with one connection to each route we have available. From the online statistics tools you will find summaries, or detailed information about every submitted message. You can therefore be confident that you will be correctly charged. This information also contains delivery reports and can be very useful when you want to check the status of a message. Intermediate delivery reports are also available, with information about why a message is not delivered yet, e.g. because the phone is turned off or is out of coverage.

MMS Delivery is also available.

SMS Billing

SMS Billing is a way to charge mobile subscribers. The subscriber pays via his or her phone bill for a service you provide. This can be either a one-time billing, when a user has ordered content, or it can be recurring billing with subscription-based services. The network operators will normally take the credit risk for the end users, and it’s normally a very easy way to charge the subscribers for your content.
From the online statistics tools you will find summaries, or detailed information about every submitted message. You can therefore be confident that revenue payouts will be correct.

MMS Billing and WAP Billing are also available.

HLR Lookup

HLR Lookup is a way to determine the home network of a mobile subscriber. HLR is also used to find what country the subscriber is roaming in right now. HLR Lookup is normally used together with SMS Delivery and SMS Billing to check what network you should send the messages to. It can also be used to check if a subscriber is reachable or if the user is absent
(i.e. has turned off the phone).

2-Way Communication

2-Way Communication is necessary if you want to have a dialogue with your subscribers. Use a dedicated or shared shortcode like ViaNett’s Norwegian shortcode 1963, or international longnumbers like +4560991000. We also have more advanced two-way services like session-based communication where you can combine the replies with messages you have sent. This is necessary if you want to receive replies to more than one message in the same period of time.
