About Info Service

Info service enables you to make custom SMS services in order to provide users with desired information such as news, weather reports, sport events, banking information, etc. It can also be used to create advanced services like SMS games, lottery, quizzes, parking, etc.

When a message is received, SMS Studio searches through the list of info rules to find a match. If the received message matches one of the rules, then parameters are extracted from the message text and further processed according to the rule settings.

Based on the rule options, info service can: run SQL query on an external database to create the reply, execute external application, return predefined text, or read the text file to get the reply.

Info service allows external applications to easily send SMS messages. For this purpose, a named pipe server is created and applications can use it to communicate with SMS Studio.
