May 14, 2024A: Hello @Chris-Baird,
Thanks for your interest!
The Cloud Version is for those who want a 100% out-of-the-box solution with centralization by SMS-iT. This is why it does not have unlimited messaging.
The Decentralized version is for those who want to reduce costs by contributing to the technology, to make it 100% out-of-the-box using the power of decentralization.
The Cloud Version is more like renting a server, and the decentralized version is more like having your own in-house server.
The main differences between the Decentralized Version and The Cloud Version are:
1) Unlimited Messaging.
2) Gateways:
A) You can use your Simcard with the Decentralized Version
B) SMPP Gateway - For more on SMPP visit https://www.smsit.ai/smpp.html
C) In-built Twilio Gateway
If any further questions arise, we are happy to answer.
Is the upcoming SMPP account we get, provide us our own number, unique to us?
If so - are we able to get multiple for multiple clients?
Thanks

The SMS-iT Cloud Version does not need a Sim Card or SMPP or a Gateway. You just receive a FREE Local or Toll-Free number, and you can start sending messages instantly.
You can also buy additional numbers.
With the Cloud Version, your sub-accounts can buy numbers directly from the platform.
The Cloud Version does not have a Gateway, and it is not decentralized, nor does it have Unlimited Messaging.
