Re: Recieved SMS to PHP on Win
This is covered in the Kannel user guide. Here http://www.kannel.3glab.org/download/1.0.3/userguide-1.0.3/userguide.html#AEN893 This allows Kannel to compose a http GET and pass the various content strings to the CGI / PHP script as a standard URL encoded query string.

Re: Is the SMSC scene in the UK any good yet?
Well nothings wrong with it, if you want to send the same sms message to tons of people then its great. AFAIK you can't do keyword service type responses like Kannel can do. Certainly possible though, but your 'sms-as-xml-over-http' service provider must be able to accept incoming SMS messages, know who they should be forwarded to and package up some xml and send it over to your system. Then I have something that reads this XML answers the request and sends it all back. One example with Kannel is I send the service center an SMS asking it for a phone number that's in my address book, then sms this number to three of my friends, all in one hit. Now that's sms services But yeah, if these types of services are possible over these xml systems, then an 'xml-over-http-as-SMSC' for Kannel is really not a bad idea.

What's wrong with XML over HTTP (otherwise know in the hype scene as web services) ? I know One2One in the UK do this (don't know how much it costs). also checkout smsrelay.com.

Similar situation over here in Australia, most companies I have talked to, are either not sure, say its on the way or say no problems send them to us as xml via http. eerrm ... no thanks.

Re: Which modem is a good choice for kannel?
Alper, I have had no problems with Kannel using the Ericsson GM12 modem. I had to patch the smsc_at.c source code ( this is now part of the main source tree ), but the additions where minor. If the modem follows the same AT commands as the GM12 ( which it should ) it will work with no problems. Hope that helps Chris [iso-8859-9] Alper Küçükural writes: I'd like to buy a GSM Modem. I am having some problems with Falcom A2D Gsm Modem.If Ericsson GM25 is supported by Kannel and I would like to buy it. Can anybody tell me if it is a good choice or which modem can be a good choice? Does GM25 have any configuration problem with kannel? thanks in advance Alper Kucukural
Re: hidden variable for reply
Hey Ahmad I understand where you are coming from with this hidden variable idea. As far as I know, the only way you can tell that you are receiving a reply, is from the mobile number itself. (%s) I have heard that each SMS message has a unique id, but I don't think Kannel currently has access to it (??) I have thought about ( not implemented ) this sort of reply type system before. I can see a way, albeit has problems. If you where to keep track of the 'to' mobile number that your user send to, along with a record of their id ( say for a web reply ) If you then receive an SMS within a certain amount of time, from this number you can safely say its a reply and send it along to the user, via the id record ( say as a email ). This is not an ideal solution as a few caveats exist with users sending SMS to the same person within that time frame. But this would work with a small user group. Forget about this if you have large amounts of SMS traffic. Also your sms services handlers might be effected as a reply could contain that keyword your bearer is expecting and reply with a say a weather report or the score for the footy. ;-) Has anyone got this sort of reply via sms center working ? Anyway food for thought... -Chris B Ahmad Munif wrote: Hi, is it possible to include variable / hidden variable to message that sent from sms gateway to user ?, and if user reply that message that variable still include. and when message reply to sms gateway, sms gateway can identify that variable. is it possible, let me know plese ? thanks.
Re: i can't receive messges more then 1 message

Re: How to use GSM phone as SMSC
Hey Paul, As far a I know, Kannel uses PDU for its phone-as-smsc system. Try some of the different modem types, if it still fails to work then you could have a hack in smsc_at.c I had a similar, experience with an Ericsson unit and all the AT commands where fine apart from just one. In my case it was the AT+CNMI command that had different syntax. Might help -Chris B Paul Derks wrote: Hi, Please bear with me, I am new to Kannel, gateways and mobile stuff. I am trying to use a GSM phone (Philips Ozeo, GSM 07.05 compliant) as my SMSC. I installed kannel under Redhat Linux 7 and if I use fakesmsc and the test programs everything seems to work. I have added the following lines in my kannel.conf: group= smsc smsc = at modemtype = siemens device= /dev/ttyS0 pin= 6996 When I start up kannel and look at the log file it says something like PANIC can not connect to SMSC I have tried gsmlib and I can send and receive SMS under linux. How can I increase the debugging level to see exactly what is going to and from the phone? I have tested my phone and AT+CMGS works fine in text mode (AT+CMGF=1) but it doesn't seem to work with PDU mode (AT+CMGF=0). Which method does kannel use to send as SMS, text or PDU? Thanks, Paul

Is kannel the right choice for me? i had some basic doubts about kannel. can kannel be used as a commercial gateway? I hope so, cause we use it. ;-) I dont want a fully implemented WAP and SMS gateway for my application, i just want a link between GSM and IP. Can you be more specific ? if i want to test kannel to act as a commercial SMS and WAP gateway what all things do i need. like there is something mentioned about SMS centres ( i don't have much fundaes about how SMS works). Infact the basic doubt is how do i get a wireless connectivety to my PC running kannel gateway ( to make it act as an SMS or WAP gateway) Kannel requires an SMS center for sending and receiving SMS messages. The Kannel docs explain all the different types. Including the fake sms center for testing. is kannel implemented somewhere as a commercial gateway? We use it in a commercial system here, and it runs extremely well. This really goes without saying when you have good open source software running on Linux :-) Thanks 3glabs. -Chris B
