The SMTP SMS Gateway API is popular with customers who need to send SMS text messages via email . This 'email to SMS' connection is the ideal mobile messaging solution for developers to use if there is already an email messaging system in place. It supports most of the functionality of the HTTP API version 2.3.0 including 8-bit messaging and templating.

Also if you are working with a legacy server, this is the ideal product for you. The best way to send
SMS text messages from a legacy server is with a server-generated email and the SMTP API is the best connection for this. Although
you cannot use this application for two-way messaging you can make use of one of our other APIs such as the HTTP, FTP or SMPP API
to receive your incoming messages. Besides the features shared by our entire range of API products, Clickatell's SMTP
