- 2-way SMS with Hosted...
Hosted SIM solution
If you want to use your own SIM card for your 2-way solution, we offer a stable and secure hosted SIM solution. Benefits: You own the number and you can forward calls from the number to your phone so your customers can call you.
About Hosted SIM
In short, we install your SIM card in a piece of hardware on our premises. When someone sends a message to the SIM card, the SMS message is read by a piece of software, after which the message is added to your account on our WEB Interface. Here you can log in and see all information about your messages.
You can choose your own number
One of the benefits of hosted SIM is that you can control which number you get. That way, you can make the number fit in a number series with your company's other numbers.
With hosted SIM there is also the option of call forwarding. If a customer tries to call you, the call can be forwarded to your normal service phone. Your customers being able to call you can add great value to campaigns and services.
Our 2-way solution supports receiving Flash messages.
Option for foreign numbers
With hosted SIM you can choose to put a foreign SIM card in our hardware. If you send us the SIM card, we will quickly set up the solution for you.
If you want a hosted SIM solution, you need to get a SIM card yourself and send it to us. Alternatively, we are happy to create a VLN number.
Outbound SMS from Hosted SIM
With hosted SIM you do NOT pay for outgoing SMS to your carrier, even if we have your SIM card in your phone. You only have to pay to your SMS Gateway, in our case to SureSMS. All four Danish telecom companies state in their terms and conditions that you are NOT allowed to make so-called "machine-generated" SMS messages with your SIM card. Therefore, it would be a violation of the terms and conditions of the telecom companies if SMS Gateways send SMS through the SIM card. We therefore deliver the SMS message through our direct connection to the telecom company, but receive the reply on the SIM card. See the current price for outbound SMS in our SMS Gateway prices. In Denmark you never pay for inbound SMS.
Forwarding messages to email
From here, we have two options for forwarding the message to you and your system. One option is that we send an email to a predetermined email address. We automatically choose the email you used when you set up your account on SureSMS.com. The message is sent as soon as we receive it, and depending on your mail system, you will receive the message almost simultaneously in your inbox.
Forwarding messages via http(S)
The second option, which is a bit more technical, is that we make an HTTP call to a website that you have created. We set up our system to know your address (end-point). When we receive an SMS message on your hosted number, we put it in your Inbox and make an HTTP call to your website.

It can take up to 24 hours from the time we receive your SIM card at our address until you receive your username and code!

Here you can read some examples of how our customers today use our hosted SIM solution:
- A Danish heat supply company use our hosted SIM solution to their business in Norway and Sweden. Just like in Denmark, their staff need to send appointment reminders to residents, but as these are on Norwegian and Swedish numbers, the 2-way solution should of course be the same.
- A Danish advertising agency sends out physical letters to customers with offers. These letters contain a phone number where customers can sign up for the offers with a KEYWORD. The number is forwarded to the advertising agency's customer phone so that future customers can also call.
- A hotel near the Danish/German border uses our 2-way solution for communication with future and past customers. Since there are both Danes and Germans among the guests, the 2-way solution should of course have both a Danish and a German mobile number.
