FTP API

Here is a guide to using our ftp service to send bulk sms.

To send bulk sms via this method, you need to create a CSV (comma separated file) containing your message and all the numbers you wish to send the bulk sms to.

The file should have this format:-

Line 1: AccountMobileNumber,YourPassword
Line 2: RecipientMobileNumber,SenderID,RecipientName,MessageBody

Repeat Line 2 for every other recipient you wish to send a message to.
Do NOT include the words "Line 1", "Line 2" etc.

Save the file as FILENAME.CSV. The word FILENAME can be replaced with anything you wish but .CSV is compulsary.

Once you have the CSV file, load up your FTP client and connect to the following FTP server:

Host: ftp.textover.com
Username: ftpupload
Password: ftpupload

Move into the "ftpupload" directory (if you arent already there) and upload your CSV file there. You will see your file listed on the server but will not be able to read or delete it. Once our server has imported the bulk sms ino our queue, the file will be deleted and the sms will be queued for sending.

You will be able to view the delivery reports online as normal, and you will receive emails if our server was unable to import any items from the CSV file.
