Connectivity

9bits supports plain connectivity to the SMPP servers. If your preference is TLS encryption, please contact our support team. Plain connectivity was chosen over TLS because most client SDKs for SMPP do not natively support TLS integrations. A tunnel might be required to configure a secure connection between your client and our server.

SMPP account details

An SMPP account consists of a host, a port, a system ID and a password to consume our service.

By default, only one parallel connection per host/system_id combination is allowed.
