Why am asking this is I need sqlbox to store the logs as I want to connect several clients over SMPP through smppbox. Thanks, Peter. 2010/9/7 Nikos Balkanas <nbalka...@gmail.com> Hi, Stipe's SMPPbox and openSMPPbox are very similar. Strictly speaking they are proxies, not servers. In other words, eventually they will need an SMSc to send SMS. All SMS are sent through SS7 (legacy phone network) to reach mobiles. After all mobiles are phones and live in SS7. All provider SMScs have one leg in SS7, the other in SMPP (or similar network). You need to have registered a band of phone numbers to be considered a provider.

I understood now. HLR is ok but whats the role of pstn/ss7 in the said model. secondly I read from forum that stipe our kannel architect maintains a server.how its usefull and why we should use this.

To be an SMSc, you need to talk HLR, SS7 and have allocated a good number of phone numbers to work with.
