Want to test it?

2. use the sandbox to simulate error conditionsc

3. run your app under real conditions in testing mode

Just use the sandbox URLs: https://api.bluevia.com/services/REST/SMS_Sandbox/... https://api.bluevia.com/services/REST/MMS_Sandbox/...

Use the following test URL: https://bluevia.com/test-apps/authorise Get monthly credits for: - Sending SMS/MMS to your app (MO) - Sending SMS/MMS from your app (MT)

1. Try the API console to familiarise with REST calls

So everything is hunky dory?

We don’t have API ubiquity in all countries OAuth 1.0 is problematic

The „Customer pays / Revenue Share“ model is not simple

BlueVia only supports O2 customers

We are in Public Beta - We need your Feedback - We continuously improve the platform

Let’s give it a try!
