Email to SMS

Email to SMS

With SMSCountry's "Email2SMS", you can easily send SMS to multiple recipients from your mail account. This feature allows you to send Bulk SMS from any E-mail Client/Application to any mobile phone across the globe. So, you need not always logon to your SMSCountry account or stay connected to the internet for sending SMS. This feature can be used for:

1. Sending Error/System Alerts automatically to a group of numbers, whenever an event occurs (Server error/ down alert for Systems Engineers, ISPs etc). (To know how look at SMTP API )
2. Users who do not have a direct internet connection but are connected to a mail server (like Outlook), which is connected to the Internet.
3. Send messages/ job details to colleagues, field-based engineers and support staff, which is away from the office (field force, agents, retailers etc).
4. Share the latest information/ appointment reminders with clients and partners

Note - Make sure your text message does not exceed 160 characters. If it exceeds the limit, our system will send the first 160 chracters as the message and the remaining characters will not be included. In case of Language SMS the character limit is 70 characters.

Setting up Email2SMS feature: Configure the E-mail id(s) from which you want to send the email. The default setting is the E-mail id you have provided during the registration process. You can change/add more E-mail ids at any point of time by clicking on the "Edit" link against "Email2SMS Settings" on "My Acoount" page.View Demo >>>

How Email2SMS works - Format I

You send an email in the format recipient's mobile number@smscountry.net with your "Username" in the subject line, and the body of the email containing the SMS Text message. Our server receives the E-mail, authenticates the User, extracts the recipients' mobile numbers and the message and then sends out the SMS Text message to all the intended recipients.
