Can anyone comment on using SMS in conjunction with VoIP service using one of these three VoIP providers: voip.ms, vitelity.com, flowroute.com? Are some SMS services more compatible with Asterisk (i.e. SMS over SIP works perfectly or not)? Is it best to use a different data channel for SMS messages (i.e. SMS via HTTP, SMS via XMPP) instead of Asterisk's built in SMS application MessageSend <http://www.anveo.com/faq.asp?code=sip_asterisk_sms>? In order to develop a web application for sending and receives SMS messages for business users, are there any pitfalls in using Asterisk to handle the message exchanges?

Im using SMS successfully over VoIP. No problems at all. You however need to use a good codec.

However, I don’t use the MessageSend application, instead I use the raw SMS() application.

This works by the SMS centre calling my fixed landline from a specific number, I detect the callerid, initiate a SMS reception and then the SMS is in the spool files.

If I want to send a outgoing SMS, I push a SMS file in the spool folder, then initate a call to the SMS centre.


That's pretty cool, thank you for the details. You are using the builtin SMS application that exchanges SMS data over SIP / PSTN connections. I don't believe I can get service like that in Canada. Does anyone use the SMS applications to send and receive SMS messages in North America? Who provides that service?
