What Makes an SMS Gateway?

An SMS Gateway is the bridge between your software and Australia’s mobile networks. Using our REST endpoints, you hand us a JSON payload—our gateway translates, routes, and returns real‑time delivery receipts, all in seconds.

Whether you’re sending OTP codes, appointment reminders or marketing blasts, our gateway scales from one message to millions without throttling your traffic or draining your budget.

Under the Hood — from API call to handset in < 2 s

Your application fires an HTTPS request → our load balancers sign and queue the message → redundant carrier links deliver it to the destination network → the handset acknowledges and triggers an instant delivery receipt back to your webhook. Total transit time: typically under two seconds nationally.

All traffic is AES‑encrypted in transit, stored in ISO‑27001‑certified data centres and monitored 24/7 by our NOC in Melbourne.

Popular gateway use‑cases:

  • Two‑factor authentication (2FA) & one‑time passwords
  • Order updates & delivery notifications
  • System alerts & IoT device alarms
  • Bulk marketing messages with two‑way replies
  • Automated CRM or help‑desk notifications

SMS Gateway FAQ

An SMS gateway is a cloud-based messaging platform that enables software applications and systems to send and receive SMS messages through the mobile phone networks. Mobile Message’s SMS gateway provides a simple RESTful API, converting your HTTP-based requests into text messages delivered directly to Australian mobile networks. It handles encoding, routing, and real-time delivery reporting seamlessly, typically within just a few seconds.

When your application sends an SMS via our gateway, you simply make an HTTPS API request containing your message details as JSON. Mobile Message authenticates, queues, and securely routes your message directly to Australian carriers. The carrier then forwards it to the recipient’s mobile device, which sends an acknowledgement back. This generates a delivery receipt (DLR), providing immediate confirmation to your application through webhook callbacks or direct API queries.

Mobile Message’s SMS Gateway provides a straightforward REST API, supporting HTTPS POST and GET requests. You can integrate message sending, delivery receipts and inbound SMS handling. We offer comprehensive API documentation and ready-to-use code examples to simplify integration.

Mobile Message’s SMS Gateway prioritises security and reliability. All messages and API interactions are encrypted via HTTPS (AES-256 in transit). Our infrastructure is hosted in ISO-27001 compliant data centres in Australia. We monitor 24/7 from our Melbourne NOC and guarantee a 99.99% uptime SLA.
