Hi all,
we are using kannel with the siemens M20 modem, but, in the near future, we'll
need an SMSC connection via internet.
We asked to a couple of italian telecom operators and they said that they don't
provide access with standard protocols (SMPP,EMI,SEMA, etc..) to their SMSC's
any more.
The point is that thay cannot calculate the exact invoice for roaming use of the
SMS'es. So they have developed a proprietary protocol, that help them with this,
on wich is based a proprietary software sold at 2,5k Euro !!! One of these
telecom operator is a Vodaphone company.
We would like to know what the situation is out there. Are others european
telecom operators planning to close their SMSC to 'standard protocols'?
If the situation is different we could plan to subscribe a contract with an
e.t.o. other than italian.
Finally, do you know how they calculate the invoice for roaming SMS ?
Any indication would be very helpful and appreciated.
Regards
