ViaNett supports the Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) version 3.4 protocol to exchange messages. SMPP is one of the known telecommunication protocols that are widely used between the SMS peer entities as short message service. This interface is not available for premium services (mobile payment), but it is transparent to ViaNett's servers.
