Data247 has been in business since June 2010.
Yes, when you sign up for an account with Data247, we automatically add 15 cents to your prepaid balance for testing purposes.
Data247 membership costs $12 per month. Members can access any of the Data247 services. Each service has a per-transaction fee, and the amount varies for each service. For example, the Text@ service costs $0.005 per transaction.
Our service is prepaid.
We have a pretty simple REST API; you send us queries via HTTP or HTTPS with the parameters as GET data, and we send back a document containing the results in one of three formats:
Since it's just HTTP, it's platform independent, and you can do test queries via a standard Internet browser.
Documentation for API version 3.0 can be accessed from the Support drop-down menu on the main page of our website, or from the Support menu in your account.
.
Our API does support CURL.
An example CURL call from a linux command line would look like this:
curl "api.data24-7.com/textat.php?username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD&p1=PHONENUM"
It's important to remember the quotes!
Currently we only support the USA and Canada
Many carriers in countries outside of North America, do not offer email-to-sms and email-to-mms gateway addresses.
If you happen to know the gateway addresses for some or all of the wireless
carriers in your country, you can use our Carrier247 (International) service to obtain the
carrier name. Optionally, you can give us these gateway addresses, and we
can make our system return them to you for the appropriate carriers.
Multiple fields should be comma separated.
If you input a USA or Canadian phone number to Carrier247(Carrier Type), it will return the type of phone it is:
If you input a phone number to Text@, Carrier247(USA), or Carrier247(International), it will return:
Carrier247(USA) works for USA and Canadian numbers. Carrier 247(USA) has number portability awareness for USA numbers, that means that when someone ports their phone number from one carrier to another, we know about it almost immediately, and we guarantee that our records will be updated within one business day, although they usually will be updated within an hour.
Unfortunately, due to regulations in Canada, we cannot provide local number portability data for Canadian phone numbers to customers unless they get approval from the Canadian Local Number Portability Consortium (CLNPC).
For Carrier247(USA), if the phone is wireless, it will also return:
The SMS and MMS Gateway Addresses can be used to send text messages and picture messages to wireless phones. The Gateway Addresses are email addresses of the carrier. To send a text to the recipient, you send an email message to the carrier using the Gateway Email Address, and the carrier sends your message to the recipient as an SMS or MMS message.
NOTE: Text@ and Carrier247(USA) are identical in function and price.
The Gateway Addresses are not available for Carrier247(International) since most international carriers don't provide them.
If the phone is wireless, it will also return the last date when the phone was ported from the last carrier to the current carrier. This information is currently automatically returned for Manual lookups only. For API lookups, it requires a specific option in the API call. It is an optional field for File Uploads.
