SMS MESSAGE PRIORITIES

Ozeki Message Server 6 has a built-in priority system to support simultaneous user access. This is very useful if you use the service for BULK SMS messaging and other everyday tasks. The priority system is based on message queues. Each user has its own message queue. And the engine takes one outgoing message from each queue if more then one queues have outgoing messages (Figure 1).

It is important to mention, that each plugin has its own user account as well. This means you can have various messaging processes supported by plugins sharing the same resource. You don't have to worry about one of the users or plugins overloading the system. If you attach more than one GSM devices you can increase the capacity of the server. In this case you can use operator names to define message routing.

Here is an example, that describes how this works:

If user A inserts 1000 SMS messages into his outgoing queue, and user B inserts only 1 SMS. The SMS of user B will not wait for the 1000 SMS messages to be sent out. Instead it will only wait 1 SMS to be sent by user A. It will be the second SMS in the delivery chain.
