Read the user guide. There is extensive information on how to use + configure a GSM modem. Additionaly there are a lot of phones preconfigured in modems.conf (old ones, though). Lastly check at the mobile manufacturer's site, if it supports AT commands.

Alright. Would I be I correct in saying that I can also use a GSM mobile phone instead of a GSM modem to send SMS over the air? If this is true, how would I go about setting up a phone as a virtual SMSc, or where can I find information regarding this?
Thanks for your patience!

Kannel uses IP connections. However it gives you the ability to send/receive SMS over the air (vityual SMSc). To send/receive SMS over the air, you need a GSM modem. In any other case you just need a connection to your SMSc.

Thanks. Please forgive my ignorance, but how do I get a connection to a provider using SMPP? (Or, where can I find more information about that?)

Hi Eamon,

You need an SMS Centre; this can take the form of a GSM modem, or you can get a connection to a provider using the SMPP protocol over a TCP/IP connection.

Have a read of this section of the user guide:

Hello,
I am new to Kannel, and I'm a little confused about how it works. To be able to send out SMS messages from Kannel, do I need to have an external hardware device?

Thanks.
