SMS Gateway
With a set of Clickatell account Username/Password, the SMS Gateway can be configured to send SMS
messages upon On-Demand account creation. The SMS service can be used for free access, paid access
with payment gateway integration, or both. Define an API ID and activate the desired billing plans.
Multiple Billing Plans may be activated if needed. To prevent the SMS Gateway from being flooded by SMS
queries for account generation, an Account Registration Control option is available. In addition, the
administrator has an option of allowing or disallowing users to register for new accounts prior to account
expiration. To block valid accounts from requesting new accounts, set option to “Enabled”.
