Kannel: Subject line
Hi all, Could you please write Kannel in the subject line, like on every other mailing lists? :D Best regards Ebbe, Denmark
Beginner questions
Hi, since I`m new to this type of software, and the english is not my first language (I got confused from the manual) I have one basic question: Is it possible to send SMS with Kannel without a mobile phone (i. e. no mobile phone, no SMS centers). Will specifying HTTP as SMSC work without anything else? I made this type of configuration, ran the example script in the manual - it gave me SMS sent but I didn`t receive it. Thanks in advance. -- Ilia Bazliancov, team leader. Rodonika www.rodonika.info
Re: Beginner questions
Did you mean, send SMS to mobile phone without network connection (over SMSC or mobile phone or 3rd party provider like clickatell)? If yes, i think it's not possible Ilia Bazliancov wrote: Hi, since I`m new to this type of software, and the english is not my first language (I got confused from the manual) I have one basic question: Is it possible to send SMS with Kannel without a mobile phone (i. e. no mobile phone, no SMS centers).

Beginner questions
Well, I have a network connection. In the manual I saw a HTTP option for SMSC. Will it work? What do I need in order to use it? HTTP-based relay and content gateways This special SMSC is used for HTTP based connections with other gateways and various other relay services, when direct SMSC is not available. 2005/8/16, Ady Wicaksono [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Did you mean, send SMS to mobile phone without network connection (over SMSC or mobile phone or 3rd party provider like clickatell)?

Re: Question about tracking messages (maybe using UDH ?)
Stephane, SMS protocol does not have any transaction-oriented capabilities built in. I'm afraid you'll have to come up with a solution more or less painful for your users: 1. You could, as mentioned, ask the client to include a tracking number. 2. If you don't expect to send many requests at the same time to the same guy, You could implement some time-window oriented mechanism, that is: any reply you get during the X minutes after sending message #432 to number 123 is supossedly regarding message #432. After X minutes, you consider the #432 abandoned even if 123 replies to it. This works as long as you don't have more than one open message with a particular ANI. In that case you could indicate that he must include the tracking number... (here the painful part comes to developing the logic for this, nbut it's absolutely doable). 3. You could implemente the messages as wap pushes (with the tracking number encoded) and redirect the client to a wap form where he can reply ot them.

RE: Question about tracking messages (maybe using UDH ?)
Hi Alejandro, Thanks for your reply. I'm a bit disappointed as I really thought that there would be some sort of persistent information between a message sent to a mobile and its reply. I think I can handle this missing feature by asking users to include the original message in their reply. A quick investigation showed up that on Nokia phones this functionality exists. On Ericsson it doesn't but the user can forward the message back, that should be ok to start with. Thus said, I would be very interested in investigating wap push for a near future, unfortunately I have pretty much no idea of how to set that up and the documentation is more a technical reference than a tutorial :-) If somebody would have a truly basic example of wap config and wap scripts that does any kind of simple job (even unrelated to the alerting system that I try to setup) to help me understand I would be glad.

Wrong smsc-id used for submit_sm
Hi List, Here's my problem.. I have several links up in my setup - some of them SMPP , some EMI2 When i submit an MT to sendsms (over http), i specify smsc-id to be used for sending. (by smsc= uri parameter) However, in some cases (it does not happen all the time), the real smsc used to send the message (that, i can see in bearerbox.log) is different. I am not sure if that it's entirely correct, but as far as i can see this substitution happens when smsc-id i use is EMI2. (maybe i did not notice this on other links though) For example, i submit msg with smsc=orange_ro_1353 , and it's going out through smsc-id mobileway_uk .. (both are configured properly and deliver messages both ways, the substitution does not happen on every such msg) Question is... why can this thing happen, and how can i prevent kannel from doing that? For what it's worth, if the smsc i requested is down and msg cannot be sent through it, i prefer such message to be dropped rather than being attempted to deliver through other link (as every link i have is limited for delivery to its own destination only).

I don't get the idea.

@ character as 00?
Dear all, We're connected to several SMSCs through SMPP, and are having a problem with one of them, which makes me sick... If we send an SMS to this SMSC that includes a '@' character, Kannel converts this character to a 00-code character... Here's a part of a kannel debug dump (this PDU is sent): [.cut.] data: 6c 61 73 7a 74 7f 73 00 42 65 64 42 65 61 63 68 laszt.s.BedBeach [.cut.] (the original message was [EMAIL PROTECTED], the á character was OK at the destination mobile phone). Do you have an idea why this conversion is done? We have this problem only with one SMSC direction, and since that SMSC truncates the messages at 00 characters, these SMSes are only partially sent... :/ All SMSCs are configured similarly, only basic settings are used (host, port, username, password, system-type, enquire-link-interval, dest/source addr ton and npi, keepalive, log, reconnect, preferred/denied prefixes).

Using get-url or post-url you can connect with Clickatell and most of the HTTP-based gateways with no problems. You just have to write the right URL to pass the parameters, but that's rather simple to achieve most of the times.
