A lot of people keep asking me the same questions repeatedly. So I decided I will compile an FAQ, and will keep updating it as I find time.
- Why Way2SMS and 160by2 is not working anymore? : Way2sms, and 160by2 has blocked all IP addresses which are used to send bulk sms. So, even the IP of my server is blocked. However, for dedicated api users, Way2SMS and 160by2 is working.
- What is Way2SMS Captcha / Error Code -7? : As I said, Way2SMS, and 160by2 has blocked requests from my server, and is placing a Captcha to send sms. Error code -7 means there is a Captcha which cannot be bypassed. However, for dedicated api users, way2sms and 160by2 is working.
- Why group sms is not working for Way2SMS and 160By2? : Way2sms has a limit of 1 sms per 3 seconds. 160by2 has a limit of 1 sms per 10 seconds. Therefore, group sms with these providers will not be possible.
- Why don't you make api code open source / give it for free? : I don't earn anything from this api service. And hence I will not give away the code too.
- How to send sms? : Please refer How to use this API Page!
- The sample code you provided is not working. Where to get working code? : Sample code is working 110%. Please make sure your code is working, and you have already google-ed for the error that you are receiving.
- Do you store usernames and passwords of our accounts? : I would like to, but frankly your usernames and passwords are nothing more than useless to me, and hence I do not store it.
- What is difference between dedicated service and free service? : People using this API on Dedicated Service, receive faster updates, and less downtime. Even Way2sms works for dedicated service users. If you have a website / app sending 1000's of sms every day, dedicated service is preferred.
- How can we use dedicated service? Contact me with following details: Number of sms sent per day, Application name and type (android / iphone etc). If your application sends less than 3000 sms per day, please use free API only.
- Can we place Ad's on your site? : I will be more than happy. Contact me for more details.
