Re: USSD and shortCode programming
Hello Milan, MPS Kannel doesn't support sending out of band AT command to modem, AFAIK. MPS But that question gave me idea to implement it through the HTTP admin MPS interface or maybe through the separate interface, although I'm not MPS sure how much it would be useful. If you consider writing something like that, you might want to have a look at mbuni. There are some setups where you wannna use a GSM/GPRS Device for sending MMS where you need to apply scripting to take mbuni down and start up kannel to talk to the modem (MMS is a 2 part proces, where you technically send a wap push and then provide the content over GPRS). If we had an universal 'modem sharing daemon' this kind of stuff all becomes much easier. -- Best regards, Thomasmailto:tho...@ist.schuldig.de

Re: USSD and shortCode programming
It is needed to agree with mobile operators to assign a smpp account for you in order to connect to their USSDC. After that you can start developing Menu and services.

Re: USSD and shortCode programming
Hi Thanks for ur detail answer. basically i m trying to experiment on how to transfer credit from one mobile to another or simillar activities. what is need for this?if i have understood correctly need to send sms to shortcode or ussd.so in that case i dont need any menu driven ussd.just exchange of ussd strings.Lets say i will have a system where i will have a gsm modem with sim having enough balance.so friends send sms to my sim and get credits. like they would send to:my shortcode number from :thier number amount:some dollars so my sim is a sim that can process ussd commands. i hope i did create any confusion or misleaded you with the example.

Re: USSD and shortCode programming
Hi I really got a very clear idea and now understand in simple form how it should work. I can not explain my happiness about ur explanation but u r a genius. about sending USSD strings from the modem...it wd help me if u give me a pointer other wise no problem ..u really did a lot tome me. Br Daf elthox wrote: Then your modem will work as proxy. Following your example, your friends will send an sms to your Modem number. I suppose the operator you are attached to, provides this basic service of Credit Transfer through SMS, lets say send MSISDN amount to . All you have to do is to build your logic after you receive the sms in your modem. Keep the originator coming from MO message, compose the message with the proper keywordDestination(MoneyReceiver)amount and send it to the proper shortcode of operator. About performing the same action through USSD, the standard formatshould be something like this; *111*MSISDN*AMOUNT# Other guys in the forum may help you how you can initiate USSD strings from the modem, if it is possible.
