An SMS Gateway is an application that allows your device or server to receive and send Short Message Service (SMS) between various telecommunication networks. These networks can range from local (within a specific area) or international networks. They use a wireless carrier to route text/push messages to mobile devices
By default, miniOrange provides and uses it's own SMS Gateway to send OTPs to users. If you have a custom SMS gateway configured, you can use the same to send SMS from your miniOrange account. Check out our list of Supported SMS gateways.
You can contact idpsupport@xecurify.com for adding your own gateway or if you need help with any SMS Gateway integration.
