New APIs
Find out where you are first, then find information…
Developer Garden is offering this new IP Location service free of charge.
You are already familiar with the Voice Call 2.0 and Send SMS 2.0 services from the Developer Portal.
With immediate effect, you can use the IP Location service to quickly find out which region a website’s users come from. In this way the site content can be automatically customized to its visitors’ regions. For example, which events are being held near the users? Where can they get low-priced PC equipment?
How it works:
Whenever the Internet user logs into the Web via one of Deutsche Telekom’s 73 dial-in locations, they are immediately assigned to the associated region.
Get the benefits of IP Location onto your application or website and offer your users customized content for advertising and information purposes. To do this, you only need to insert a couple of lines of source text, as usual. And, saving the best to last: using the IP Location service doesn’t cost you a cent.
More options, more impact
Send SMS 2.0 and Voice Call 2.0 bring you exciting new features
Send SMS 2.0 - Flash worldwide
With Send SMS 2.0 you can now reach your friends outside Germany by SMS, too. And particularly: the newly integrated Flash function brings the content in the SMS straight to the recipient’s display.
Voice Call 2.0 - phoning without frontiers
The Voice Call 2.0 service now connects phone subscribers internationally via fixed or mobile networks. With immediate effect you can also suppress the numbers of A and B subscribers. And through using the new SequencedCall, a series of people can be called, one after the other. If the first subscriber does not pick up, the next one is dialed automatically.
