If a gateway has its own SIM card and GSM stuff, should it receive SMS ?

Sure, since it's just a regular cellphone with an Ethernet plug to
connect it to the rest of the network.


Not true. Some GWs have only a phone port that you connect to an ATA.

We're using a GSM gateway to send SMS messages from our network
monitoring system. Once you dig through some chipset specs it was
suprisingly easy to start sending SMS messages. While we didn't
investigate receiving messages fully we did one quick test and that was
easy enough. You just need some daemon to monitor the gateway to see if
it has received a message and pass it on to Asterisk, sending the other
way around is not that different.

Thanks for the feedback. Can someone recommend GSM gateways for small
businesses?

Good to know. What brands/models would you recommend?

Supposedly, but I never used it either.

[asterisk-users] How to receive SMS ?

2012-02-16 Thread Olivier
Hi,

I've read here and there how Asterisk could send SMS but I didn't find
much about how to receive SMS and forward them to an email box.

1. First of all, I don't think my telco would let me receive any SMS
my landline.

2. Maybe I could find providers selling this service for a monthly fee;

3. I could build and operate my own infrastructure.

Given this asterisk-users mailing-list purpose, and for curiosity's
sake, how could I build my own SMS reception service with Asterisk
(1.6.1 or later) ?
Which channel (chan_mobile, chan_datacard, ...) and hardware would be
appropriate ?
Suggestions ?

Regards

Why? If I assume well you're in France, so no problem.



2. Maybe I could find providers selling this service for a monthly fee;


If your point 1) view is true, it will change nothing ;-)



3. I could build and operate my own infrastructure.


What we did.

 Anyway, the problem is not here. If you follow 
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Sms it's working, but, 
at least for France (true around one year back):


- SFR is sending SMS to landlines as voice messages which is completely 
stupid as they ask to press 1 to listen the message or you can wait 15 
sec and start recording, perhaps you will get it or part of. But if they 
change their announce message, you have at first to know it and then 
recalculate the delay. Crazy. An answer machine will have same problem.

- FREE mobile doesn't send SMS to landlines
- ORANGE is working but we also faced some SMS sended as voice message
- BOUYGUES wasn't tested

We stopped to work on this as each mobile operator do what he want, SMS 
gateways being not better. To unstable to rely on it.
