Every Screen in SMS Deliverer, Explained

Six screens do most of the work: device detection, composing, contacts, reports, SIM quota and options. Each one below explains what the screen is for and when you will use it.

Six screens, one workflow

The screens below are captures from the Windows build, in the order you meet them. Every card says what the screen is for, when you use it, and what the capture itself shows.

Modem and phone detection dialog listing COM ports with model, IMEI, signal strength and baud rate
Phone detector: every reachable modem with its COM port, signal reading and SIM state.

Device detection and COM ports

What it is for. The first screen after install. It lists every modem and phone it can reach, the COM port or IP address it uses, the signal reading and whether the SIM is ready.

When you use it. Open it whenever a send fails: a missing COM port explains most 'device not found' errors before you touch the campaign.

New message dialog with birthday and recurring schedule options, force UCS2 and flash SMS toggles
New message dialog: recipient, recurring schedule and the encoding switches.
MMS compose window with picture attachment preview, QR code option and text field
The same compose flow for MMS, with a picture preview and the QR code option.

Compose and send

What it is for. One message, one recipient list, one sending device. The counter shows GSM-7 or UCS-2 encoding and the number of segments, so you know the real cost before pressing send.

When you use it. Use it for ad-hoc messages and for proofing a template before a bulk campaign.

Phone book window with contact groups tree and import export toolbar
Phone book: contact groups, search and the import and export toolbar.

Contacts and lists

What it is for. The phone book stores numbers, names, groups and the opt-out flag. CSV imports map columns, skip duplicates and never overwrite an opt-out.

When you use it. Use it to keep one clean list for every campaign, or to move a list between machines.

Query history report listing sent messages with contact name, phone number and send time
Query history report: one row per message, with contact, number and send time.
SMS Deliverer main window with sent and received analysis chart report
The analysis chart for sent and received messages, opened from the same window.

Delivery reports

What it is for. A per-campaign view of delivered, failed and pending messages, with the carrier response for each failure and a per-SIM breakdown.

When you use it. Use it after every campaign and export the CSV when a client asks for proof of sending.

Options dialog Send tab with SMSC, delivery report, throttling and retry settings
Send tab in Options: SMSC, delivery report, send interval, validity and retry limits.

SIM quota and rate limits

What it is for. Per-device caps for messages per hour and per day, plus the current usage bar. When a cap is hit the queue moves to the next SIM instead of dropping messages.

When you use it. Use it when one SIM has a limited plan or when a carrier throttles burst sending.

Options dialog HTTP callbacks tab with webhook URL, method and parameter key mappings
HTTP callbacks tab: endpoint, request method and the field mapping table.

Options and integrations

What it is for. The page where HTTP API, SMPP, SQL listener, webhook and mail-to-SMS are switched on, each with its own port and credentials.

When you use it. Use it on day one for the API, and later when you connect the gateway to an application or a monitoring system.

More settings and tools

The rest of the captures in the build: the main window, SIM queries, the COM port sorter and the tabs that hold the other settings.

Where each screen sits in the workflow

1

Detect

Confirm the hardware and the SIM before writing anything.

2

Compose

Write once, check the encoding, then reuse it as a template.

3

Select

Pull the list from the phone book and confirm the blacklist is applied.

4

Send and report

Watch the report, export it, and keep the local log for your records.
