NowSMS messaging software
Text and picture messaging software proven in more than 125 countries over 20 years — pure software you run on your own servers, in your cloud, or let us host.
What it is
Messaging software that just keeps working
NowSMS sends and receives SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages for mobile operators, service providers, businesses and developers. There is no appliance to buy and no per‑message contract: the same product and the same interfaces from the smallest edition to the largest.
NowSMS is a separate division of NOW Wireless, shipping continuously since 2002, with more than 3,000 installations and over 30 mobile operators running it in production. The same technology carries driver messaging across our private networks.
Why customers choose it
Proven, portable, and yours to run
125+ countries
More than 3,000 installations on six continents; 30+ operators in production.
Pure software
Your servers, your cloud, or hosted by us — no appliance, no per‑message contract.
Every interface
HTTP with JSON or XML, SMPP, email and MM7; a messaging application built in an afternoon.
Start small
A standard SIM in a modem or Android phone to begin; a carrier connection when volumes grow.
Who uses it
Operators, service providers, businesses and developers
Operators run NowSMS as a production MMSC, often alongside an existing platform. Service providers connect to many carriers at once and route each message by destination and cost. Businesses send appointment reminders and service alerts from email, a browser or their own software, with replies routed back to an application.
- Phone‑to‑phone and application‑to‑phone messaging
- Least‑cost routing across multiple carriers
- Free 30‑day trial with every edition’s features
Alerts and two‑way texting from the systems a business already runs.
