Based on previous postings, the SMS thingie is primarly a european thing and is rather different from the US cellular implementation. Since you mentioned T-Mobile, I'm assuming you're in the US. If that assumption is correct, then its not likely you're going to be able to accomplish your objective without implementing some sort of site-specific role-your-own mechanism (eg, I don't know of any US cellular company that would sell you a sms address for your pbx). _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
