free real sms sending

[Tim S]

   I just wanted to comment on this... I am a "user" not developer on 
Kannel since the days it started.  Sure, it can be hard to get support, 
but you need to understand the group.  We are talking about a group of 
mobile companies who are trying to stay on the cutting edge.  If you for 
example ask a question about MMS, there are alot more answers.  Why?  My 
guess is buzz topic.

There is a HUGE archive of past mails, and I have found that I can solve 
90% of problems from there. 

As to your question, Bagas, Free "real" smsc for testing.  That is the 
age old question everyone wants to know.  Is there anyway to send a free 
SMS.  Kannel, as an interface, connects to whatever is out there.  If 
your country has an SMSC that they will let you conenct to to test, 
great.  Some providers will give you a few SMS messages to test with.  
There is one in UK, HK Systems I think??

Otherwise, I would recommend you first check which SMSC you want to use, 
and then check the archives for experiences with that.  From what I have 
seen, most are quite good, but I have had difficulty with SMPP, but it 
does work. 

And another option is to use a GSM modem.  Then you just pay the price 
of your regular SMS.  Many phones are supported.  I am using R520m for a 
long time.

if I were you I would start with that, a GSM modem.  Perhaps a Nokia 
phone with serial cable.

--just some friendly advice from one user to another...

Dear Bagas,
nobody,as you see, will give you here any commercial support.
Me too I ve asked before giving up using Kannel.
Then I worked sending messages in a web environment like XML packets 
over an HTTP session with
www.mblox.com
www.clickatell.com

Good luck
