How to – Get Sidentifiant of my devices

SMSMobileAPI Notifications - Send Notifications to Your Connected Mobile Devices

Send Notifications to Your Connected Mobile Devices with SMSMobileAPI

SMSMobileAPI allows you to send notifications directly to one of the mobile phones connected to your account.
To deliver a notification correctly, you must always specify the destination mobile using its unique sIdentifiant (SID).

What Is the SMSMobileAPI Notification System?

The notification system lets you send a push notification to a specific mobile phone connected to your SMSMobileAPI account.
This can be done either from your dashboard or through the API.

A notification is not sent randomly to all your devices. It must be sent to one specific connected mobile.
That is why knowing the correct sIdentifiant (SID) of the destination mobile is required.

Belangrijk: when sending a notification through the dashboard or the API, the destination mobile SID is mandatory.
Without the correct SID, the system cannot know which connected device should receive the notification.

Secure Device Identification

Each mobile device connected to your SMSMobileAPI account receives its own unique SID. This SID is used to identify your device in a safe, reliable, and secure way.

One Unique SID per Mobile

Every connected mobile has a different SID. This avoids confusion between devices and ensures your notification reaches the correct destination mobile every time.

Required for API Requests

If you send notifications through the API, the SID is a required value because it tells the platform exactly which mobile should receive the notification.

Also Useful in the Dashboard

Even when you work from the dashboard, understanding the SID helps you manage multiple connected phones and choose the right destination device more easily.

How to Find the SID of Your Connected Mobile

There are two simple ways to retrieve the SID of a mobile phone connected to your SMSMobileAPI account.

From the SMSMobileAPI dashboard
Go to your dashboard, then open "SMS Gateway Pro", and then open the "Mobile connected" submenu.
There you will see the list of your connected mobile devices. Locate the field named "SID" to find the unique sIdentifiant of the mobile you want to target.
From the SMSMobileAPI API
You can also retrieve your list of connected mobiles using the API endpoint below:
GET https://api.smsmobileapi.com/gateway/mobile/list/?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY
The response will return your connected devices and their corresponding SID values.

API Endpoint to List Your Connected Mobiles

Use this endpoint to retrieve the mobiles connected to your account together with their unique SID values:

https://api.smsmobileapi.com/gateway/mobile/list/

Example request:

GET https://api.smsmobileapi.com/gateway/mobile/list/?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY

Once you have the correct SID, you can use it in your notification request to ensure the notification is sent to the right device.

Best practice: if you manage multiple phones on the same account, always verify the SID before sending a notification. This helps avoid sending a notification to the wrong mobile.

Why the SID Is So Important

Precision

The SID makes sure your notification is delivered to the exact mobile phone you selected.

Security

Each SID is unique to a connected device, helping identify it safely and reducing the risk of mistakes.

Multi-Device Management

If you connect several phones to one account, the SID becomes the key reference for targeting each device individually.

Reliable Automation

When your system sends notifications automatically through the API, using the right SID guarantees reliable routing.
