Mobile Originated SMS, a message sent by the mobile subscriber to a business application.

Why MO SMS Matters

MO SMS is what makes two-way messaging possible: OTP confirmations, keyword opt-outs, survey responses, and support replies all depend on the subscriber's reply actually reaching the business application, not just the business being able to send.

How MO SMS Works

The subscriber sends an SMS to a business number. If that number is provisioned for two-way messaging, the network routes the message to the SMSC, which delivers it to the bound application, over SMPP as a deliver_sm PDU, or over HTTP as a webhook callback.

How SMPPCenter Uses This

SMPPCenter routes MO SMS on any two-way enabled number back to your application in real time, over SMPP deliver_sm or a webhook, the same delivery paths used for delivery receipts.
