SMS API compatible with Kannel
Kannel the Tyrannosaurus
Kannel is an opensource SMS gateway and a real dinosaur in the best sense of the word. A dinosaur because the Kannel development began back in 1999. Also a dinosaur because of its size. The Kannel system consists of 300,000 lines of C code. Such a large project cannot be easily replaced or redeveloped.
And although we affectionately call Kannel the dinosaur, Kannel is still very much alive today. Not only because a lot of customers and also we ourselves use Kannel as a client to connect SMPP connections, but because after a long break between 2014 and 2018 life and movement has returned to the project.
Kannel without SMPP even better

We have the answer to your questions!
Is there also an SMPP interface?
No. SMPP is a compact binary protocol that is ideal for large SMS volumes with low bandwidth usage and consumes very little power. However, it also keeps one or more TCP sockets permanently connected to the SMSC, which has a poor impact on scalability, load balancing, and failover. SMPP does not provide transport-level security, such as SSL/TLS, and sends all your data, including credentials, as plain text.
Can we test it somehow?
Yes, you can sign up without any obligations and receive 50 cents credit for free testing.
Can SMS be sent worldwide?
Yes, we support just about every network in the world. The SMS price is usually even cheaper than to Germany.
Where are your servers located?
All our servers are located exclusively in Germany. We guarantee the security of your data.
Is there a minimum contract period?
No, you can cancel at any time without notice. But we are sure that you will be satisfied with us.
