SMS Messaging Services
At KORE Telematics, we control all our own network elements needed for SMS delivery, including message platforms for both production and test services, and our own Short Codes and Virtual Number services. Unlike most providers, who rely on the operator to deliver these services – and stand in the queue waiting for provisioning and implementation – we can react to deliver your custom solution quickly and reliably.

We provide several Short Message Service (SMS) solutions addressing the specific needs of the M2M marketplace. Leveraging the SMPP (Short Message Peer to Peer) 3.4 protocol, KORE enables you to deliver SMS as an effective data bearer for your application. Using Short Codes, two-way private and highly reliable communications can be enabled. In addition, direct SIM to SIM messaging or even Inter-Carrier messaging solutions using KORE Virtual Numbers are all available options. The KORE SMS Gateway services portfolio allows you to choose the solution that best suits your application needs.

SMS Gateway Service with Short Codes
KORE can provision your unique Short Codes for you. With an SMPP connection to the KORE SMS Gateway, this Short Code allows your devices to terminate messages back to your application server. Additionally, your application server can communicate via SMS back to your devices. This is a closed network solution providing highly reliable - and rapid - message origination and termination between your devices and the application server.

SIM to SIM Messaging
KORE’s SIMs natively support SMS MO (Mobile Originate) and SMS MT (Mobile Terminate) messages between KORE SIMs as well as other third party GSM and CDMA devices. KORE assigns a phone number to each SIM, allowing it to send messages to another device phone number (KORE based or third party) and receive messages sent to its own phone number. This is a standard capability and requires no additional services or interconnect.

Inter-Carrier Message Service (ICMS) with Virtual Numbers
KORE can also provide Inter-Carrier Messaging Services (SMS messages sent and received with third party networks) through our SMS Gateway Virtual Number service. Using this service with an SMPP connection, KORE assigns your application server a Virtual phone Number. Through your Virtual phone Number, your application can send and receive SMS messages to most wireless networks in North America.
