==== Text messaging gateway providers ====
[[SMS gateway]] providers facilitate the SMS traffic between businesses and mobile subscribers, being mainly responsible for carrying mission-critical messages, SMS for enterprises, content delivery and entertainment services involving SMS, e.g., TV voting. Considering SMS messaging performance and cost, as well as the level of text messaging services, SMS gateway providers can be classified as resellers of the text messaging capability of another provider's [[Short Message Service Center|SMSC]] or offering the text messaging capability as an operator of their own SMSC with [[Signalling System No. 7|SS7]].<ref>{{cite web|website=HSL Mobile|url=http://www.hslsms.com/technical/infrastructure/|title=Technical & Pricing Information|access-date=14 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130530034309/http://www.hslsms.com/technical/infrastructure|archive-date=30 May 2013|url-status=unfit}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|website=BudgetSMS|url=http://www.budgetsms.net/en/http-api/|title=HTTP SMS API - Easy to implement - BudgetSMS.net|access-date=14 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160204203134/http://budgetsms.net/en/http-api/|archive-date=4 February 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> SMS messaging gateway providers can provide gateway-to-mobile (Mobile Terminated–MT) services. Some suppliers can also supply mobile-to-gateway (text-in or Mobile Originated/MO services). Many operate text-in services on short codes or mobile number ranges, whereas others use lower-cost geographic text-in numbers.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web|author=Andrew Orlowski|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/18/aql_textable_landlines/|title=Cheapo textable landline numbers for all|website=The Register|date=18 April 2008}}</ref>
