Re: Kannel SMS Parking Application
Hi Milan P, That really sounds great. i am mostly interested on the send/stop sms parking and the response after one stops the SMS parking. I won't mind if you omitted the payment part and shared the rest. Looking forward. Thanks. KR, Joseph. On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 9:26 AM, Milan P.

Re: Kannel SMS Parking Application
Using SMS as mobile payment channel is getting wider, but I dont see Kannel as major factor here. All application logic is beyond kannel, by processing the relevant keywords, i.e start parking; stop parking. Including billing integrations as well, which consists at definition of charging model. Either chargeable by defining a specific shortcode with the static price, or calling directly Operator Billing API to check balance and charge dynamically based on spent hours. 2011/6/21 Nikos Balkanas nbalka...@gmail.com Hi, For the benefit of the list could someone explain what is an SMS parking aplication?

Re: Kannel SMS Parking Application
Hello Joseph, A free and easy solution to implement over Kannel would be PlaySMS ( playsms.org) Give a try to this Web GUI application that linked to Kannel can do what you are looking for. PlaySMS have a pack of plugins where one of them called SMS Subscribe allow you to create a list of subscriber registered by SMS. They can unregistered from list by sending unreg keyword. You will have a lot of functions included and you can develop what you need for the Parking service based on the following plugin. PlaySMS is GPL licensed. Hope this help Emmanuel PlaySMS-MC http://playsms-mc.mediacom.nc/?lang=en 2011/6/21 Joseph Koech kipponthe...@gmail.com Milan, I would appreciate so much if u can write a detailed article about it.
