What is an SMS Gateway?
SMS Astral Gateway is a service that enables sending text messages from one device or application to another. It acts as a bridge between the sender and the mobile network, allowing text messages to be sent and received between different devices and systems.
SMS gateways are used in various applications, including mobile marketing, customer relationship management, and business communication. They are also used to send alerts and notifications, such as weather updates or appointment reminders, to large groups of people. Our SMS gateways are secure and comply with all legal and regulatory requirements, such as obtaining a short code or long code phone number and complying with data privacy and security laws.
We use several types of SMS gateway services, including short-code SMS gateways, long-code SMS gateways, and virtual SMS gateways. Short code SMS gateways use a short, 5- or 6-digit phone number to send and receive text messages, while long code SMS gateways use a standard 10-digit phone number. Virtual SMS gateway listings are software-based and do not require a physical phone number to operate.
SMS gateways can be accessed through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow our developers to integrate SMS functionality into their applications and systems. While an SMS gateway provides the infrastructure necessary to send and receive text messages, the SMS gateway API is a way for developers to access and use that service to build custom SMS-based applications.
We also use open-source SMS gateways at SMS Astral to integrate SMS functionality into existing systems. One advantage of using an open-source SMS gateway is that it provides a quick, cost-effective solution for sending and receiving text messages. Its high flexibility allows us to customize the gateway and add new features.

What is an SMS gateway address?
SMS gateway addresses are phone numbers or other identifiers used to send and receive text messages through an SMS gateway. They may be assigned by mobile carriers or SMS gateway providers and are typically accessed through APIs or web-based interfaces.
What is SMS gateway software?
Our SMS gateway software is a powerful tool that allows you to send and receive text messages over the mobile network, reaching your customers where they are and when they’re most likely to engage.
Our SMS gateway software offers a range of options to fit your needs, including short code, long code, and virtual solutions.
If you opt-in as a company, you will also be able to receive a message from Facebook or Google through easily manageable sender IDs. These codes are used to identify a text message’s sender when it is delivered to a recipient. In the case of SMS gateway software, the sender ID is typically a phone number or a short code registered with the mobile carrier.
We have the solution if you’re looking to build custom SMS-based applications or integrate SMS functionality into your existing systems.
How to set up my own SMS gateway?
To send and receive text messages, you will need to obtain a phone number, either a short code or a long code. Several different types of phone numbers can be linked to an SMS gateway, including short codes, long codes, and virtual phone numbers. Short codes are short, 5- or 6-digit phone numbers typically used for high-volume messaging and are often used for marketing or customer service applications. Long codes are standard 10-digit phone numbers that can be used for lower-volume messaging and are often employed for business or personal communication. Virtual phone numbers are software-based and do not require a physical phone.
