This process of registration is required so that our system can recognize that an incoming SMS message, arriving to one of our gateways is addressed to your account and its content contains a message relevant to you. In other words, each incoming SMS message, arriving to our gateways is identified by the phone number of the sender. If this phone is registered in our database (registered with an account), our system will process incoming message on behalf of that account. Otherwise, the message is treated as spam and discarded.

You must register a phone with your ipipi.com account if you want to:

• Send SMS text messages worldwide directly from your phone - This allows you to send international SMS from your phone despite the limitations imposed by your current wireless provider (Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, Cingular, Telus and many others)
• Save money - Many wireless operators will charge you a great deal to send or even to receive international SMS messages (in Canada and USA some operators charge $0.30 for each INCOMING SMS). By using your iPiPi.com account your incoming messages will be DOMESTIC and your operator will not charge for them
