Mobitel supports both SMPP (recommended for persistent, high-volume connections) and HTTPS REST endpoints (recommended for simple integrations and quick onboarding). The APIs support single and bulk messaging, unicode, scheduling, and delivery reports.
Sample HTTPS Request (REST)
GET https://api.mobitel.example.com/v1/sms/send?
api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
&sender=MYBRAND
&to=971551234567
&message=Hello%20from%20Mobitel%20Enterprise%20Messaging
&dcs=0
Sample SMPP Workflow
Bind as a transceiver, submit SUBMIT_SM PDUs for sending, and receive DLRs (delivery receipts) on the same session. Ensure correct data_coding for Unicode and segment messages when required.
Best Practices
- Use HTTPS POST for large payloads and to avoid URL length limits.
- URL-encode message content and use
dcs=8 for Unicode. - Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for transient network errors.
- Map delivery receipts to your internal message IDs reliably.
