Integrate SMS Text Messaging into Your Proprietary Applications
Applying for, purchasing, and maintaining your own short code is costly and time consuming. Use our Gumband API (Application Programming Interface) to develop your SMS application quickly and easily on our standard rate short code (25252).
Gumband is a simple REST-like API that allows your applications to send and receive SMS text messages. Gumband isn’t an email to SMS gateway or some other quasi-solution; Gumband allows you to send and receive SMS text messages over a real short code (25252). The Gumband API can be used to add text message functionality (subscribe alerts, text commenting, text interface) to an existing product, application, or service.
When the time comes for you to get your own short code, you can use everything you’ve developed on Gumband and easily transition it to your new short code. We can even help with the short code certification process.
White-label and Offer RouteShout as Your Own Product
RouteShout SMS provides bus arrival time information over SMS text message. RouteShout White-label allows companies to rebrand RouteShout SMS to match their existing offerings. Transit stops will need to display physical signage showing the keyword that’s associated with each stop that is accessible by SMS text message.
