[asterisk-users] SMS within asterisk users
I'm trying to setup SMS among users of a single asterisk box.
I've set up asterisk10-beta to send SMS messages using MessageSend(). If I
manually set the 'from' variable. I can two way messages only between those
two extensions.
i.e.
[sms]
exten = 12000,1,MessageSend(sip:12000,12001)
exten = 12001,1,MessageSend(sip:12001,12000)
This works fine, But limits the users to only be able to text each other
back and forth. When I add a third extension matters are complicated.
So I tried to set up something that was a little more flexible. I thought
that I would be able to use ${CALLERID(num)} for the 'from' variable.
[sms]
exten = _X.,1,MessageSend(${EXTEN},${CALLERID(num)})
However, the CALLERID(num) variable is an empty string.
Is there another way to identify the extension that originated the message?

Personally, I have been shot at on top the Iraqi Government building in the IZ from the Red Zone. I was setting up and troubleshooting the Motorola Canopy WiFi system. Just a few 7.62x39 rounds, nothing I would call heavy fire. It was because you were setting up the canopy stuff, not related to being in Iraq. Motorola sure goofed on that abortion.

You're right, why should we make things easy for other people? While we're at it, let's toss out instructions manuals - those books just make things easier for people to learn what they're doing, so full of answers to common problems as they are! And websites like wiki.asterisk.org, that has a ton of configuration examples that just makes life easy on those bothersome people who don't already know all the answers! And mailing lists! How dare helpful contributors such as yourself or myself make things easier for people by just giving them answers that we had to work hard to figure out ourselves! And yes, I'm just being sarcastic. I don't hate on anyone who posts on this list - we've all been in situations where we've needed help to figure things out in the past. Who among us hasn't used google to learn something? I may not be as experienced as some people, but I've got my little niche that I'm good at and when someone posts questions relating to those topics, I try to be helpful. And occasionally, I can be a little sarcastic... :) -- Thanks, --Warren Selby, dCAP http://www.SelbyTech.com http://www.selbytech.com -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Suggest you look at http://voip-info.org as there is a lot of info there on SMS. hth /r SMS or Texting has definitely caught on with the younger generation. There are proposed laws all over, banning texting while driving. Scores of accidents are blamed on texting including a train crash. I only use it for reminders to my cell phone but not for communication. Kannel is probably the best way to go in the States, unless you want to sign up with an aggregator. I use Kannel and a bank of Sony Ericsson phones. To send SMS, you just have to hit a URL on the Kannel server with a properly formatted URL. I just use System() to call Lynx with the correct variables (the message you want to send). I have asked many carriers about SMS here in the States, and they all say, oh yes, we can do that. But their acronym for SMS means something else, not simple messaging. -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) ___ -- 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

The config files for Kannel are very simple with slight alterations from the samples generated from what is created from building from source. Most of the alterations are to use the Sony phones as GSM modems. Kannel's learning curve is slight if you are just using it for simple SMS through a GSM modem, of course, doing WAP Push or proxying requires a bit more in the way of learning. -- Thanks, Steve Totaro +18887771888 (Toll Free) +12409381212 (Cell) +12024369784 (Skype) ___ -- 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

[asterisk-users] SMS /w Asterisk
Hi all, I'm looking into being able to send/receive SMS messages with my asterisk box in the US. I've seen the SMS command as well as the Kannel program. I'd prefer to do it from Asterisk. I've tried something like: exten = 999,n,sms(15551234567,s,This is a test) in my dialplan, but when this runs, it dials the phone number and then nothing. What am I missing?
