Read a post on delayed mail & thought I could also raise the issue of
delayed SMS delivery esp. when it's coming from a different provider
(not sure but could the problem be around the switch or it's just the
SMSGW that's stressed!) . May be someone on this list could enlighten
us on what's happening & when we can expect things to normalize. To
reproduce what am talking about, proceed as follows:
1. Install & configure kannel 1.4.3
2. Use a GSM modem of any other operator but MTN ( I use the orange
E160)
3. In your preferred scripting/programming language; write an app to
send bulk SMS (I use python)
4. If you have an MTN line, include your number say 4/5 times in the
recipient list ( which could have numbers of other networks)
5. The first MTN number(recipient) will recieve the SMS shortly but
the rest get kind of delayed or in some cases never delivered.
6. I figured, may be my script was over pushing. So I included some
rate control method in the bulk class...(played with rates upto 1sms
per 3sec) --- no change!
7. Looked @bearerbox log (boxes running in debug mode)... I couldn't
see anything unusual. The SMS traffic gets to the orange SMSC ( I also
get billed for all the messages)
8. Visited the orange HQ to verify with them, and from the printout
they showed me, all my traffic was recieved & duly sent to MTN (for
MTN numbers).
