Right. Without SS7 access, you wont be able to do it. If there's enough demand for this we could offer that as a service to the Kannel community. >I have read something about a law regulation at least for the german >"Regulierungsbehörde", but I don't remember if they suggested >something like an open MSISDN <-> Carrier query server. what I've seen from a case in Hongkong, they always do it in SS7 because mobile switches rely on those number lookup features. However the source of the information is always coming from some centralized / decentralized synchronized database which all the carriers share in some way. Of course the people who have access directly to that database can use it this way without SS7 but then again, its country specific while the SS7 solution is not. -- Andreas Fink Fink-Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tel: +41-61-6932730 Fax: +41-61-6932729 Mobile: +41-79-2457333 Address: A.
