Hello Users,
I have been familiarizing my self with kannel last days and
mostly understanding how things work, but this thing with MOs
I just dont get.
When user wants to use my service,
1) he/she sends sms message which goes to smsc
2) smsc then contacts my sms gw (kannel)
3) kannel then makes request to my web app
4) now in my web app I know what to do and after doing that
I have response.
So my questions:
- when smsc contacts kannel/MyWebApp, does it wait for response?
- If not, should I send response by MT message?
- Is there some time limit for response, i.e. if completing response
takes time can I keep smsc waiting or should response be always quick
and continue with MT if necessary?
Perhaps explaining example would help me.
- When I send sms to some voting machine and it replyes saying "thanks
for voting", was there only my MO and response to it or was there
my MO and MT from voting machine?
- When I send sms to query name by phone number, and
- resolving phone number is fast, is it
- my MO to service provider
- their response to MO?
- their response as MT
- resolving phone number takes alot of time,
- then smsc cannot be waiting for response, but is respose
still in context of MO?
:)Marko
