For that many messages a day, an sms gateway (via smpp or other) is a lot more reliable than a gsm modem. Also, if you shop around for a bit, it might be cheaper as well.

I've been using Kannel for years with my WaveCom Fastrack Supreme 20 without any problems. Used mainly for personal proyects, etc, load was very low (a couple of messages a day), and it worked great. Two days ago I decided to send some messages for a customer (9,000+), and everything broke. The device was able to send a couple of messages, and then started choking with entries in the log like: 2011-12-14 09:52:21 [2616] [6] DEBUG: AT2[/dev/ttyS0]: --> AT+CMGS=145^M 2011-12-14 09:52:21 [2616] [6] DEBUG: AT2[/dev/ttyS0]: <-- > 2011-12-14 09:52:21 [2616] [6] DEBUG: AT2[/dev/ttyS0]: send command status: 1 2011-12-14 09:52:21 [2616] [6] DEBUG: AT2[/dev/ttyS0]: --> 0031000881980243970000A797C377BB2C1FA7C36C10B90C9A96CF75F97B0E9A97417479D83D 37BFE5ED30885C06D5DD6150F05C768FD361D0F0DD2ECBC7E9303BAD0F93DFF230280CAABBC3 A0E15B2E2F93DFF230885C064DCBE7BAFC3D77819AE13928ED36BFE5EDF038FD7683CA6ED0FD 7E778DDFEDB27C5E3ED7E5EFB96BFC6EBFC6EF76DD9D1E87C9EFB92B3C87E301 2011-12-14 09:52:21 [2616] [6] DEBUG: AT2[/dev/ttyS0]: --> ^Z 2011-12-14 09:52:24 [2616] [6] DEBUG: AT2[/dev/ttyS0]: <-- > 2011-12-14 09:52:24 [2616] [6] DEBUG: AT2[/dev/ttyS0]: <-- ERROR 2011-12-14 09:52:24 [2616] [6] ERROR: AT2[/dev/ttyS0]: Generic error: ERROR I've been reading for the last couple of days, about having to force INIT strings, or keep-alive strings, etc. But I've been unsucessful with any attempts I've made. Right now, I am unable to use the system, because I have several thousand messages in my queue. I tried restarting the services, even the server a couple of times. The messages are still stored somewhere, and I am unable to delete the queue. So I need help from you guys. Inmediately I would need like for a way to empty queue. And if possible, fix the problem, so I can send all the messages without my device choking. If not I am happy looking for another alternative for my customer. This is my configuration: (running on Ubuntu) group = core admin-port = 13000 # the port number to access kannel's admin web view admin-password = bar smsbox-port = 13001 #the port number used by the smsbox to connect to the bearerbox log-file = "/var/log/kannel/kannel.log" # the bearerbox log file log-level = 0 access-log = "/var/log/kannel/kannel.access" box-deny-ip = "*.*.*.*" box-allow-ip = "192.168.0.*" group = smsc smsc = at modemtype = wavecom device = /dev/ttyS0 keepalive = 10 speed = 115200 sms-center = 70108621 my-number = 70108621 connect-allow-ip = 127.0.0.1 log-file = "/var/log/kannel/smsc.log" log-level = 0 group = modems id = wavecom name = wavecom detect-string = "WAVECOM" group = smsbox bearerbox-host = 127.0.0.1 sendsms-port = 13013 global-sender = 85282077 log-level = 0 group = sendsms-user username="foo" password="bar" concatenation = true max-messages = 10 group = sms-service keyword-regex = .* catch-all = yes max-messages = 0 get-url = "http://192.168.0.12:8500/sms.cfm?phone=%p&text=%a"; I am grateful for any help I can get.
