CSG Assure SMS Testing

SMS isn’t just for consumers anymore. Enterprises—large and small, non-profits, and even governments—use Application-to-Person SMS communications (A2P SMS) to provide appointment reminders, offer discounts, and communicate events to their customers. As the service has evolved, SMS notifications have become a tool for public and private institutions to share critical information during an emergency, communicating everything from localized severe weather alerts to emergency notifications. In these instances, service quality and timely delivery matter. With CSG Assure, you can test the quality of your SMS products—as experienced by the customer—within days of deployment.

Mobile phone users send trillions of SMS messages every year. Users expect quick delivery—regardless of destination—and count on providers to deliver quality service. Whether you are an SMS aggregator or a carrier, a mobile operator or an enterprise, CSG Assure enables verification of true end-to-end text message delivery via hundreds of test nodes in over 150 countries through the CSG Global Test Network.

Verify the text message delivery of all your connected suppliers in real-time—no more relying on unverifiable delivery reports from the network. Schedule automated and recurring tests, or perform ad hoc tests to get interactive, real-time results. In both cases, an SMS is sent from your network to a CSG test node at the end user/subscriber level in order to gauge successful message delivery. CSG Assure also initiates SMS from SMS-enabled test nodes around the world to any other test node or mobile device.

With CSG Assure for SMS Testing, you can differentiate yourself from other SMS aggregators or SMS carriers in the marketplace. Test suppliers with only a few clicks through the system’s user-friendly interface. Manage and actively test a wide variety of SMS options, including configurable originator type and sender address, alphanumeric, short code and MSISDN.

CSG Assure lets you configure reports of your testing results, and access delivery reports from the network for comparison—all from within CSG Assure. This helps you identify potential problems before they have a major impact on your operations and your credibility.
