Where do I find my SMPP credentials, port, and host?
Question
What credentials should I use for SMPP?
Applies To
- SMPP
- Login Credentials
Answer
Your SMPP credentials can be found in the API settings when you log in to your Vonage API account dashboard.
The correspondence with SMPP parameters are as follows:
- System_ID = Key
- Password = Secret
Host:
- smpp0.nexmo.com (if only connecting to one gateway)
- smpp1.nexmo.com and smpp2.nexmo.com (if connecting to our cluster in EMEA/Americas)
- smpp3.nexmo.com and smpp4.nexmo.com (if connecting to cluster our in Asia-Pacific)
Port: 8000
Throughput: 30 sms/sec
Connections: 2 connections max (may be one TR and one RX, or two TRX)
Enquire Link Frequency: 30 seconds
Note: The default API secret is 16 characters. We strongly encourage you to shorten this to 8-10 characters as most SMPP servers cannot handle the extra length. You can change the API secret in your Vonage API account dashboard, under Settings.

Could I control the throughput and the number of connections from my side(client side) or it is already controlled from the SMSC side??
thanks alot
Albert: If this data is inaccurate, would you please update?
Also if there is a whitelisting process that's required, I think it'd be helpful to mention it here.
This document is what we referenced when trying to do a server change.
Cheers,
Mark
