How to send bulk SMS with Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway

If you have an Ozeki Bulk Messenger installed on a virtual machine or in a cloud system, and you cannot connect a GSM gateway to that PC phisically via serial or USB cable, you will need to choose an IP connection, such as SMPP connection. Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway helps you to use your own SIM card(s) for sending SMS messages. In this guide you can read about how to connect Ozeki Dialer to Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway through SMPP connection.
