Outgoing SMS

Outgoing SMS in Monogoto

The Monogoto platform provides comprehensive capabilities via self-service for managing outgoing SMS messages to IoT devices, allowing users to efficiently send and monitor SMS communications.

SMS Monitoring

The first thing you want to do before starting sending or receiving SMS is to create an “Incoming&outgoing SMS” integration in the Monogoto hub, in order to be able to view or be notified for outgoing SMS insight events. Once you set up the integration, you will be able to view SMS insights in the Monogoto hub “Inbox” section. Additionally, you will be notified at your email, Slack channel, Zapier or your own webhook, depending on the integration type you have selected.

Here is an example for outgoing SMS insight event:

Time: 13 Sep 24, 05:31, ICCID: 899721142526xxxxxxxx, IMSI: 311588xxxxxxxxx, IMEI: 3574428xxxxxxxx,From: 121xxxxxxxxx, To: Mono123, Message: Server addr=tracker.us Port=78222

How does it work?

Outgoing SMS from the device are terminated in the Monogoto cloud. In order to view the SMS insight in the Inbox page, make sure to create an “Incoming&outgoing SMS” integration in order to be able to view or be notified for incoming or outgoing SMS insight events. Once you set up the integration, you will be able to view SMS insights in the Monogoto hub “Inbox” section. Additionally, you will be notified at your email, Slack channel, Zapier or your own webhook, depending on the integration type you have selected.

The Monogoto SMS is being transmitted via API (security) and not as traditional SMS, therefore in order to send an outgoing SMS to a real number a 3rd party integration with an SMS aggregator is required.

Devices which are connected to the Monogoto network can exchange SMS communication between themselves.

For outgoing SMS to work, make sure to validate that:

• The SIM is active

• The SIM is registered to a mobile network

• MO_SMS service is unblocked (default)
