Rates
When sending SMS through multiple vendors it's important to keep track of rates and balance on multiple suppliers. A rate is a combination of the route, country and mobile network. Some routes do not separate between the mobile networks.
Custom routes (SMPP and API)

Routing
The SMS routing process begins with the evaluation of a set of rules to determine the appropriate route for an SMS message. Initially, the system checks for a rule specific to the network brand. If no such rule is found, it then assesses based on the country. If neither of these criteria yields a rule, the system automatically determines the best route. This automatic determination can either find a suitable route or result in the SMS being dropped if no suitable route is identified. When a rule is found, whether through the network brand, country, or automatic determination, the SMS is then forwarded to the designated SMS supplier.
