Femail® 2000 SMS service

The Femail® 2000 SMS service extends the reach of your mail system to the mobile phones of your contacts. By using Femail® 2000 you can combine the power of your mail system with the ease, convenience and mobility of SMS messaging.

For small to medium traffic volumes the SMS message are send (Mobile Terminated) and received (Mobile Originated) using one or more GSM modem devices which are connected to the Femail® 2000 Gateway server.

For high volume SMS traffic a direct connection with a WASP (Wireless Application Service Provider) is supported where messages are exchanged via a TCP/IP connection with the WASP who is in direct contact with the SMSC's (Short Message Service Centers) of the various mobile phone operators.

Some of the areas where SMS integration can be a valuable tool:

Simple person to person communication
Sending SMS messages from your desktop will be as easy as sending an e-mail. Receiving SMS messages directly in your mailbox makes it convenient to organise the information you receive through SMS along with your e-mail messages.
While companies can manage their SMS traffic by controlling the mobile phone numbers to which users can send messages through the use of white or black lists.

SMS notifications and information services
Integrate SMS into your business processes by interfacing your applications with Femail® 2000 so that users can be notified of certain events via SMS regardless of whether they are in the office or on the road. Through the same integration you can keep your customers and contacts up to date on what is happening in your company by offering them to subscribe to your own SMS information services which can be used to deliver a wide range of company information to mobile phone users such as share prices, travel information, news etc.

Provide a mobile point of contact
Enable your customers to contact you via SMS wherever they are, forwarding the inbound message to mailboxes or directly to your business applications for further processing.
