Re: RFE for new SMPP support in zOS

Yes, e-mail-to-SMS/MMS is fairly common in the United States among other places, but it's not common everywhere. For example, it's not available with Singapore's mobile carriers as far as I know. It's not terribly common in Europe either. The RESTful interfaces to SMS/MMS message centers are a
