“Send as SMS via server” means sending a text message to a mobile device through a server, as opposed to sending it directly from one phone to another.

This method of messaging is often used by businesses and organizations to reach a large number of customers or members at once.

It involves the use of an SMS gateway, which is a software application that allows SMS messages to be sent and received by a computer or other device.

When a message is sent as an SMS via the server, the message is first sent from the sender’s device to the server. The server then sends the message to the recipient’s mobile device as an SMS message.

This method of messaging is different from traditional text messaging, which sends messages directly from one phone to another.

• One advantage of sending messages as SMS via server is that it allows businesses and organizations to send messages to a large number of people at once.

  This is particularly useful for sending out important updates, such as notifications about service disruptions, emergency alerts, or promotional messages.By using a server to send messages, businesses, and organizations can avoid the limitations of traditional text messaging, which typically only allows messages to be sent to a limited number of contacts at once.

• Another advantage of sending messages as SMS via server is that it can be more reliable than traditional text messaging. Because the messages are sent through a server, they are less likely to be affected by network congestion or other technical issues that can impact traditional text messaging.

  This can be particularly important for businesses and organizations that rely on SMS messaging to communicate with customers or members in real-time.

However, there are also some potential drawbacks to sending messages as SMS via server. For one, it can be more expensive than traditional text messaging, particularly for businesses and organizations that send a large number of messages.

Additionally, messages sent via server may not always be compatible with all mobile devices or carriers, which can limit their effectiveness.
