Android SMS channels are ideal for sending and receiving a low to medium volume of SMS messages. The number of simultaneous Android SMS channels depends on the license tier of your Auron SMS Server installation.
With an Android SMS channel you can send and receive:
- Single part and multipart messages
- Unicode messages
The Android SMS Channel will automatically use Unicode if a message contains Unicode characters.
