SIM Hosting is a service where by your SIM Card is located in our data centre and running 24x7 without having your own computer / server or GSM device.Your will be given a Web Application to access your incoming SMS and outgoing SMS remotely anytime anywhere through internet connections.
SIM hosting is one of the most cost effective ways of conducting 2 way messaging campaigns. Our gateways are capable of sending out text messages "apparently from" your SIM card number. All replies will therefore reach your SIM card and will be forwarded on to you by one of several mechanisms.
The service is straightforward. You simply supply VisionOn with your GSM SIM card and we host it for you. Hosting of a SIM card involves installing it in a SIM slot in one of our GSM modems. Our application servers check your SIM card for content every 3 seconds. Because it is a SIM based technology, the maximum throughput of messages is one per 3 seconds, up to a limit of 30,000 per month. The incoming messages are processed and entered into our secure database and all messages are associated with your account login.
In order to view the incoming messages, you can log in to your account and download them in Microsoft® excel compatible csv format, or (at no extra cost) you can have the messages forwarded to you HTTP POST'ed to your own application server (to trigger off other automatic events for example)
