Keep SMPP connection open with SMSC

[saedshaar]

Hi,

Is it advisable to keep the connection open between my server and the SMPP server on SMSC?

I think this will increase the performance of sending the SMS's faster instead of opening the connection everytime i want to send an sms.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Saed

Absolutely yes, SMSC's recommend you maintain an open connection and get upset when you attempt to bind for every message send. EnquireLink was designed to keep a small conversation going between you and the provider so you're both aware whether a connection is still valid or not.
