# Receive SMS/MMS

## Portal Settings

Inside the portal, in your user settings (at the top right of the screen drop down), you can set the incoming URL. When you receive an MMS or SMS, you will receive the following as POST variables:

| Argument    | Value              | Type       |
| ----------- | ------------------ | ---------- |
| source      | yes                | int        |
| destination | yes                | int        |
| message     | no                 | string     |
| attachments | json array of urls | json       |
| type        | yes                | sms or mms |
| cost        | cost of message    | int        |

Here's an example:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Received Post SMS" %}

```php

    [source] => 3038882222
    [destination] => 7206321111
    [message] => hello
    [type] => sms
    [cost] => 0

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Received Post MMS" %}
