This does all depend on your provider, and which API (if any) they provide, so you will have to confirm with them. In your example 2. above you might get a delivered status (1) if customer has enough balance, and a failed status (2) if balance is to low. Some providers give you an HTTP or SOAP service to do charging, and then you only use kannel to send the content after a succesfull charge. Arne
