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!
You don't need SER for that (and arguably, SER has no business in this
since no SIP is invoived). The Kannel (http://www.kannel.org) can do it
already. Much move viable project would be to extend SER to interoperate
with the Kannel, instead of using GSM modem directly.
