Thanks for the response also Stephen Rothwell... not what I was hoping to hear as number portability is an issue for me and no doubt many others.
Obviously kannel knows which network a message is supplied from due to the fact that it comes in from SMSC-1 or SMSC-2 So maybe an attribute could be sent through with each message. This would enable an app to be able to respond to a correct gateway rather than flooding availble gateways with requests. My main concern is routing traffic over GSM internationally when not needed. Just my 5 cents worth ... Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Fink [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 25 October 2001 12:37 p.m. To: Nev Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Number portability >Has anyone asked this question ? > >How does one handle number portability ? > >I have kannel with multiple SMSC connections from different countries. > >if Country A has 4 providers all connected to kannel so far I have only seen >prefix routing ?

Kannel doesnt have any way of knowing this.
