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.
BTW - how about writing an SMSC module for Kannel to use XML over HTTP ?

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.
They also charge like a wounded bull.

Hi all,
I installed Kannel way over a year ago in the UK and then
queried the
usual suspects trying to find a low cost SMSC. Vodaphone tried to
lease me a Kilostream link at £40,000 pa, BT didn't understand the
concept of an SMSC and Orange never got back to me.
Meanwhile all you
Scandinavians are laughing at us ;-)
Is there a decent UK service provider around yet please?
