With the RoutoMessaging SMS Desktop Sender you can receive inbound (mobile originated) SMS without connecting to our APIs. It is not necessary to send any messages from the Desktop SMS sender in the first place. This feature is perfect for two way messaging interaction-receiving SMS without any IT resources, software or technical knowledge enabling you to manage everything from one SMS account which you use to deliver messages to your recipients. To do this, you will be assigned a long number, which will be dedicated to receiving messages for your account trough the Desktop SMS Sender. You can advertise this long number and / or specify it in the originator / sender ID field of any mobile terminated messages, to which subscribers reply. Contact us to discuss this service.
