The SMPP SMS Gateway (SSG) cloud platform is a globally-distributed platform that enables the operation of an SMS gateway that is highly reliable, highly capable and technically sophisticated. The SSG provides SMPP, REST and portal access to enable your customers to send and receive SMS.

Each trial and commercial SSG instance includes all sites of the platform. These sites include the UK, USA, Germany, Singapore, Australia and Brazil. Your customers can connect to any of these SSG sites to use your SMS gateway, and connections to your suppliers can be made from any of these sites.
