Hi all, I was wondering if anybody here ever investigated the possibility to create an SMS gateway module for SER using one one the widely available HTTP-sms providers?
HTTP-sms providers enable their users to send an HTTP(S) request to one of their servers containing something along the line of: https://<serveraddress>/sendsms?an=<accountname>&pw=<password>&dest=<destination>&msg=<message> Some of the Betamax voip providers (eg. VoipBuster, VoipStunt, VoipDiscount, etc.) offer their user the posibility to send SMS via an HTTP request. Most (mobile) operators and some other companies offer a similar service commercially with the option to receive SMS messages as well using a short-code (4 digit number) or a keyword on a (shared) short-code. Incoming SMS messages will then result in an HTTP call to a customer defined address. I've noticed there's currenlty a module that is able to send SMS messages and receives delivery notifications, but it requires the use of a SIM-box + SIM card or any other mobile device with a serial interface. This solution is not really scalable, let alone professional. Before I start digging in the code I thought it would be good to see if there are other people here that have attempted to build something like this in the past. Maybe they would like to share their experience here. Any other input is welcome too!
