Performances

SMSLibX can send/receive from 6 to 20 sms/minute.

This means thousands messages per day (approx. 5,000 to 25,000).

Actual performances can vary according to several factors as: hardware device in use, environment factors (GSM network) and usage mode.

Most important factors are:

• quality of GSM signal coverage on your modem location
• efficiency of SMS Service Centers (SMSC) provided by your GSM operator
• sending time: SMS traffic on peak hours may be slower
• traffic direction: uni-directional traffic (just sending or receiving SMS) is faster than bi-directional traffic (sending+receiving SMS at a time).
