We have a number of DID's that do the standard VoIP tricks: ringing multiple locations, findme-followme etc. What is happening more and more is that customers call those DID numbers, and draw the reasonable conclusion that they are calling mobile numbers because they literally can HEAR that the called party is on a mobile. Consequently many of those customers draw the conclusion that they can safely send SMS's to those DID numbers. Naturally the SMS messages disappear into the ether. It occurrs to me that relaying SMS messages following dialplan logic may become an increasingly common objective.
I say the SMS messages 'naturally' disappear but maybe I'm just ignorant to this topic because it has not been important to us in the past. Currently we routinely SEND SMS's from Asterisk triggered by other dialplan events. So far we've never needed to RELAY from one DID to another. Are terrestrial carriers even presented with SMS messages? Is anyone using Asterisk to relay SMS messages? -Karl _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
