I have a few questions.

1. Which protocol can I use to get the recip number without using a mobile phone, eg. is there any way to get this via SNPP or ...

2. Can one SNPP link serve multiple numbers and premium numbers, or do I have to setup a separate one for each number I get?

3. How do I go about determining what number a message is being sent to? Eg. if I have 2 numbers setup with a carrier and the same keyword associated with each but requesting different services, I need to know what number the sms was going to (as I understand SNPP doesn't support recip), what is the solution?

Also, what is the fastest send recieve method. I know using a mobile you achieve about 10 per minute, how about SNPP compared to UDP(not sure of the abreviation) or HTTP?

I guess SNPP would be faster as it establishes a session based connection, while HTTP would be slower as it is transaction based???

Please can anyone answer the questions above

1.) Generally you would get the recipient phone number in any of the SMS related protocols. However, the exact format of this recipient number can vary by provider. (The provider's system might translate the number so that the format in which you receive it may not exactly match the number to which the sender originally sent the message.)

2.) Yes. The policies and procedures may vary between providers. But technically speaking, yes.

3.) There is a recipient field in SMPP, and this should be passed through to NowSMS as the recipient address.

4.) SMPP would definitely be faster than HTTP. There would likely not be a significant difference in performance between SMPP and UCP/EMI, although UCP/EMI packet formats require more processing for encoding/decoding whereas SMPP is more straight-forward.
