Ways to Receive SMS

Whatever SMS is sent to your SIM Card Number will be received by our server, and we can push it to you 4 ways:

1. API – Deliver directly to your server, In Real-Time

If you want to test RECEIVE INCOMING SMS by push, you have to give us your WEB SERVICE / WEB HOOK, so we can PUSH to you LIVE.

Do provide us your WEB SERVICE ADDRESS such a as https://123.23.53.123/receive.php

You can use simple code to capture it like :

$str = date(DATE_RFC2822) . ” ” . json_encode($_GET) . “\n”;
file_put_contents(“report.txt”, $str, FILE_APPEND);

$str = uniqid(“”, true) . ” ” . date(DATE_RFC2822) . ” ” . json_encode($_GET) . “\n”;
file_put_contents(“voting.txt”, $str, FILE_APPEND);

$json = file_get_contents(“php://input”);

Once you capture the data from us, you can process and save it to your SQL.

Web-Based Sending

WEB-BASED system is suitable for mobile and if you have multiple users. They want to send/broadcast from anywhere, at the office, home, or outstation. And they want to be able to send via PC, Laptop, Tablet, Phones. So WEB-BASED platform is the only solution. And they want to create many SUB USERS for their staff to send.

Are you disappointed with your current Web Based SMS System? Most of Web-Based SMS Systems are Half Bake, good at one point, bad at another, example:

Can’t handle large volume of SMS jobs, error when sending
No proper Address Book to check duplication or wrong number
Very long steps to send SMS, NO COPY AND PASTE
Reports are minimal and unreliable
No Incoming SMS, Sending Only
No Unsub/Blacklist filtering
And many more…

Sounds familiar with above problems?

With 10 Years in the SMS Industry, Fort Digital encounters high and low of every customer’s needs. And with very high Singapore Standard, and very demanding customers based here, we are tested through time to become the leading SMS company in Singapore and Asia.

3 Ways of Sending

Quick Send = Copy and Paste Mobile Numbers and Send, that’s easy and fast, best during emergency
Upload Send = Prepare your database in a CSV file and upload it to send
Normal Send = Select Groups and Contacts and personalize the content

Quick Send

The fastest way you can start to broadcast. Just Copy & Paste Mobile Numbers and Send. You can copy and paste up to 200,000 Numbers at one time go. The system will Auto Clean Up: Duplicates Numbers, Symbols, And Alphabets, Add Default Country Code and Remove 0 In Front Of Numbers, If Any. You can also set Schedule Jobs. Can Filter against Unsubscribe/Black List Database.

Upload Send

Prepare your data in CSV (Column A: Mobile Number, Column B: Full Message) and Upload it to the portal; the system will auto convert each line into SMS. Each line can have different message content. You can also set Schedule Jobs.

Normal Send

Send to Groups and Contacts that you prepared before. Can send Personalized SMS (Mail Merge). Can Filter against Unsubscribe/Black List Database.

Create Sub Users

You can create as many sub-users for your staff to log in and send themselves. You, as ADMIN, can control their CREDIT USAGE, their SENDER ID (fixed for them, does not allow them to change). And you can even SHARE ADDRESS BOOK and SMS TEMPLATE with your SUB USERS.

Incoming SMS for Unsub or Any Replies

If you need Incoming SMS, you need to purchase a Mobile Number from Fort Digital. Go to Top Up Credits Page to buy. Fort Digital does not charge per Incoming SMS; it’s Unlimited, and even a million SMS received is FREE. You need to purchase a Mobile Number for 6 Months or a Year of use (renewable). The number given will be your local mobile number, not international.

We will get you a unique number for your company use only, not mixed with other entities. We will turn on the receiving server 24/7/365 days in our data center.

Whatever SMS is sent to your number and received by our server, we can push it to you in several ways:

1.This Web-Based Portal – You can access the incoming SMS on the portal in REAL-TIME
Go INBOX to receive all your incoming SMS there.

2. Request from Our Server via HTTP API
You can REQUEST the latest Incoming SMSes from the server anytime you want, in XML format.

We will host your number in our Data Centre, which is 24/7/365 LIVE! This number will be yours exclusively and for any purposes, not only for unsub but also for feedback numbers, registration, lucky draw, order, etc.

Receiving is Free! Even if a million SMS is received, you pay nothing. We have many choices of numbers to suit your needs; we have NORMAL NUMBERS and GOLDEN NUMBERS; contact us to get your Incoming SMS turned on anytime.

This is a screenshot of INBOX for the Web-Based Platform. As you can see, there is a button for you to easily convert each Incoming SMS to PDF (save the environment, no need to print), or you can even PUT NOTES (to remind you something about this incoming SMS), or even make QUICK REPLY (never leave this page, instant reply)

Unsubscribe Functions

If you have a list of Unsub or Blacklist numbers to import into the system, just simple COPY AND PASTE, no troublesome CSV import, and clean up your database.

Easily Clean Up your Numbers before Send/Broadcast; click the “Filter Against Unsub List” button before sending; the system will filter your numbers against the unsub list in seconds. No more manual clean-up and filtering.

Inside INBOX or Incoming SMS Table, you can easily see the numbers listed in the Unsub List and those that are not. If not, easily click “List to Unsub” to include that number in Unsubscribe Database for future filtering.

Summary

So far, we can proudly say that we are the ONLY one in the entire SMS Industry to have all the above functions built-in to cater to all needs and industries.

We think we cover almost all angles of needs and requirements. However, we know there is no such thing as a perfect system. If you can’t find your needs in both our platforms, Web-Based and Client Software-based, let us know, and we can customize anything according to your needs (charges apply).

API Integrations

When it comes to OTP and Other Notifications, relying on just 1 Channel is no longer viable, as some phone might have a problem receiving one of the channels due to a Phone App Problem, Network Issue, or Telco Many Plans (some plans doesn’t have an SMS service, only Data Plan).

Hence, for 100% Reliable Delivery of OTP and Other Notifications, Fort Digital provides both channels:

1st Main Channel : SMS
This is De Facto Channel, as Banks and Governments are still using SMS as their primary channel for OTP and Other Notifications. It’s fast and cheap, and all phone models and Telcos have SMS service and do not require an Internet Connection to receive.

2nd Back Up Channel : WhatsApp
When 1st attempt sent via SMS failed or was not received, for whatever reasons, RESEND / 2nd Attempt via a different channel is recommended. Because some Telco Plans don’t have SMS service, only Data Plan, it is best to RESEND them using other channels, and the best is WHATSAPP.

Parameters:
username= mandatory, Your registered username
password= mandatory, Your registered password
message-id= mandatory, Message id such as username_xx_xx

SMS Status Explanation

If the status is: Success: Message received on handset, that’s settled, means the person receive the SMS case close, status won’t change any more.

But if the status is: Success: Message accepted by SMPP Server, Telco can’t reach that person for various reasons such as Handphone Off, Low Signal, Overseas, No Roaming, Bill Payment Matters, HP Issue, etc. Telco will keep trying to reach the person within 48 hours. Once the person is contactable or finally turns on the phone, gets a signal, is connected to a network, or pays the bill, SMS will push to them. Then the status will change.

So if you download the status 10 minutes after the broadcast, after 24 hours, and after 48 hours, the status might keep changing for Success: Message accepted by SMPP Server.

Error: Status error ‘Expired’ received after the SMPP Server accepted the message
This is not a good status. The number is uncontactable after 48 hours, leading to an invalid number in the future. The person might forget to pay the phone bills or top up the prepaid card, and we are not sure whether they will continue using this number. After a while, if inactive, the number might get terminated by the Telcos.

Error: Status error ‘Undeliverable’ received after Telco accepted the message.
This is a bad status. Big chance the number is invalid, you can try to call to confirm, and you might want to delete this number from your database.

SBO License and SGNIC Approved Aggregator

Beware of SMS Companies without SBO (Service Based Operators) Licensed by IMDA (Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore) and Not Registered as Approved Aggregator by SGNIC (Singapore Network Information Centre). To operate and run SMS Services in Singapore, a company must have SBO License. Many SMS companies are running without SBO Licenses, Local or International. Not only it’s illegal and against the law, but you are also jeopardizing your database security. Your Database will circulate the world and might end up on anybody’s server. Your messages will not be re-sent if they fail after the first attempt. No Data Encryptions. Non-Compliance to PDPA / PDPC (Personal Data Protection Act 2012). Midnight jobs, your SMS will not be prioritized and queued at Local Telco’s server; hence the message might reach the recipient in the wee hours. Fake Reports and inaccurate SMS Status will lead to confusion and disruption of the company’s operation.
