Strex SMS

Strex is one of Norway's largest players in mobile payment and SMS communication, and is owned by the mobile operators Telenor, Telia and Ice. More than 4.6 million Norwegians have already used one or more of Strex's services. Strex has two main products:

• Strex Connect which is a complete SMS platform for incoming and outgoing SMS
• Payment solutions that are integrated into a large number of services in Norway.

The first version of the module concentrates on the SMS functionality. The module makes it possible to implement SMS sending in Drupal via the Strex Connect platform.

The main reasons why Strex would be a good SMS gateway for your site:

• Powerful and easy to use management service on strexconnect.no.
• Flexibility in relation to using several customer accounts and tagging of messages that make invoicing, re-invoicing and statistics easy to handle.
• Good availability of support and the product team at Strex.
• Competitive pricing.

Some facts about the integration
The module is an extension of Drupal's SMS Framework. The framework is designed to be able to be expanded with third-party providers of SMS services such as Strex. The framework itself takes care of, among other things:

• Sending SMS via integrated gateways (Strex SMS gateway is now an option here).
• Collect, verify and store mobile number information on Drupal users.
• Mass sending of SMS to Drupal users based on batch operations.
• Send content or portions of content to mobile phones.
