Thanks Stipe,
I have another question just in case I get to that bridge.
How do u implement this deliver_sm.serivce_type mapping? Do I have to edit the
Kannel code?? Where and which file?

Hello

I
read
a
post
sometime
in

about
SMPP
&
Billing
somehow
it
wasn't
conclusive,
does
anyone
know
how
kannel
can
Implement
Billing
via
an
SMPP
connection
to
an
SMSC?

billing
within
SMPP
v3.4
itself
is
not
a
"defined
concept".
Which
means
the
protocol
isn't
aware
of
any
logic
or
semantic
about
the
billing.
The
protocol
handles
in
its
core
only
the
transport
logic.
This
is
why
a
lot
of
SMPP
operators
use
optional
TLV
fields
that
are
within
the
vendor-specific
range
to
implement
specific
billing/accounting
logic.
What
we
do
inside
the
SMPP
client
module
is:
Use
deliver_sm.serivce_type
to
map
to
an
sms.binfo
field
that
can
be
used
at
application
layer.
Same
the
other
way
arroun
for
MT,
so
sms.binfo
is
injected
to
submit_sm.service_type.
Which
does
not
mean
this
is
"enough"
for
billing.
It
all
depends
on
your
SMPP
provider,
please
get
into
touch
with
them
and
let
them
define
you
explicitly
how
to
handle.
