SMS Gateway - WorldText

The WorldText SMS Gateway delivers SMS messages internationally.

Incoming Messages/Replies

You can get incoming messages/replies to your World Text number into the fmSMS file via the use of Webhooks to have World Text push these automatically to fmSMS. Using Webhooks is the preferred method as it saves you from having to poll/check for any new messages - with Webhooks new messages are forward to fmSMS automatically by World Text as they are received.

World Text Webhooks Setup

To receive incoming SMS messages to your World Text number, including replies to previously sent messages, you will need to use the supplied autoResponder.php webhook file to act as the webhook receiver. See our Webhooks guide for what you need to do host the autoResponder.php file on your chosen web server. Once you have the publicly accessible URL for this file you can enter this into your World Text account settings as follows:

1. login to your World Text account via their website
2. from the top navigation menu click My Account > Auto Responder
3. select the number (dedicated or shared) that you you wish to enter the Callback URL for
4. click the Create New Rule button then select the Forward and HTTP/S options
5. select HTTP GET Request
6. enter the URL in the field
7. click Create Rule
