COM Object API

Clickatell's COM Object takes all the hassle out of SMS-enabling a site or application. It is a lower level connectivity option but offers the most functionality and flexibility for the end-user. It enables web connectivity from a Windows based programming environment to our SMS Gateway. The COM Object supports all interfaces described by the HTTP API specification with the exception of wap and mms push.
