SMS Facilities: SMS@Me

Our SMS facilities are a world first!

KangaWeb has launched a revolutionary service which integrates your website with your cell phone. As far as we can determine, we are the first web host in the world to offer hosting accounts which include cell phone enabled email accounts based on your own domain name, as well as our innovative "SMS Alerts" feature which enables you to be notified via SMS when important messages are delivered to any of your POP mailboxes.

Email-to-SMS

All accounts now come with email-to-SMS facilities. You can set up cell phone enabled email addresses like 12345678@you.com where 12345678 is your full international cell phone number and you.com is your website address. When people send an email message to that address, you will receive the first 160 characters of the message on your cell phone via SMS (Short Message Service).

Each SMS sent to your phone will cost you one SMS credit. We allocate three free SMS credits to each website we host, so you can trial the service without paying a cent. If you require further SMS credits then you can puchase them via our "Buy SMS Credits" page at my.kangaweb -> Admin/Billing -> Buy SMS Credits. Our SMS prices are extremely competitive, and are available on our prices page.

SMS Alerts for Urgent Messages

Make sure you know when important messages arrive. Once you have set up a cell phone-enabled email address, you can set your account to scan mail coming in to each of your POP accounts to see if it is important. If it is an important message, then you can choose to have an SMS sent to your cell phone so that you know the message has arrived. For example, you could use SMS Alerts to send you an SMS when messages from boss@somedomain.com arrive, or could use SMS Alerts to send you an SMS when an order arrives at one of your email addresses. With SMS Alerts, you get to decide which messages are important.

Again, each SMS sent to your phone will cost you one SMS credit.

These innovative SMS services integrate your website with your mobile phone. The possibilities are endless.

WAP Pages Supported

WAP pages enable you to make your website available to people through their WAP-enabled cell phone. WAP pages are supported on our servers. Unlike web pages, WAP pages are written in WML rather than HTML. To create a WAP version of your site you need to:

• write WML code for each of your WAP decks (page sets)
• name the deck file a .wml extension (e.g. mydeck.wml)
• upload the deck to your site in ASCII transfer mode
• view it via your WAP-enabled mobile phone, or a WAP emulator.
