How to easily use CheapGlobalSMS for your SMS Portal Creator SPC

By now, it can not be over-emphasized that cheapglobalsms is the most reliable bulk SMS gateway to get all your messages delivered to everyone, including those on DND.
Hence, it is only advisable that you should connect your cheapglobalsms if you are using SPC (SMSPortalCreator) (Either SPC version 3, SPC version 4 or whichever).

Below are the steps to connect you SMSPortalCreator to this most reliable SMS Gateway:

    * Get token from the sub-account that you create at https://cheapglobalsms.com/sub_accounts
   
   * On the SPC Admin Menu, click API Manager; then Add New API.

    * Enter a name you wish to use to describe the API. In our example we will use CGSMS
   
    * For HTTP API, enter:
         https://cheapglobalsms..com/api_v1/?action=send_sms&route=2&token={token}&sender_id=@@sender@@&recipients=@@recipient@@&message=@@message@@
   
    * API Response On Success: batch_id
    * API Response Confirmation option: Contains
    * Protocol: We support both HTTP GET and HTTP POST (preferable) methods. 

   * For Account Balance API, enter:
        http://cheapglobalsms.com/api_v1?action=account_info&only_balance=1&token={token}

    * Finally, visit your "Admin Settings" Page and select this new API (in this case CGSMS) as the default API.

And that's all.
