Does the Software Development Kit support 2-way messaging? How will 2-way messaging work?

Simplewire supports 2-way, but it is not a released feature yet. We plan on making it available in our Beta Program very soon and then will release it after that. This capability will be carrier-dependent, and will be available on certain networks and not on others. That information will be posted on our coverage page when our 2-way system is available.

In order for a mobile phone to send to a server, a dial-in number must be typed into the phone. Simplewire has many dial-in numbers around the world that can be utilized, however, these numbers are "shared" amongst all of our customers, since they are extremely expensive.

Therefore, 2-way customers will register for a keyword or "application code" that is typed in before the actual message is sent through one of our dial-in numbers. This application code is then mapped to the customer's account, and Simplewire's servers then know where to route the message to. In fact, our servers will route the entire message to your customer's application via an HTTP post. This "post" can then be read in by your Software Development Kit and your application can access the entire message. Our system uses direct access connections to many carriers in order to achieve this solution.
