What is Ozeki SMS Gateway

Ozeki SMS Gateway is a powerful SMS Gateway software you can download and install on your Windows or Linux computer or to your Android mobile phone. It provides an HTTP SMS API, that allows you to connect to it from local or remote programs. The reason why companies use Ozeki SMS Gateway as their first point of access to the mobile network, is because it provides service provider independence. When you use Ozeki, the SMS contact lists and sms data is safe, because Ozeki is installed in their own computer (physical or virutal), and Ozeki provides direct access to the mobile network through wireless connections.

After the library is imported with the using statiment, you need to define the username, password and the api url. You can create the username and password when you install an HTTP API user in your Ozeki SMS Gateway system.

The URL is the default http api URL to connect to your SMS gateway. If you run the SMS gateway on the same computer where your C# code is runing, you can use 127.0.0.1 as the ip address. You need to change this if you install the sms gateway on a different computer (or mobile phone).
