Re: [asterisk-users] Assistance sending mass sms to cellphones
You may want to look into using google voice + pygooglevoice for this. I set up something similar for a baseball team to notify parents. I had to write a bunch of python scripts that were called from the dialplan and set a timeout between them so that it would not lock itself out of GV from the 'mass SMS'. --cobra2 On Friday, August 05, 2011 01:27:52 PM Robert Huddleston wrote: When you say expensive...

Asterisk's SMS application only supports LANDLINE SMS. Please read the voip-info Asterisk SMS page. From http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Sms: The SMS module for asterisk was developed by Adrian Kennard, and is an implementation of the ETSI specification for landline SMS, ETSI ES 201 912, which is available from www.etsi.org. Landline SMS is starting to be available in various parts of Europe, and is available from BT in the UK. However, asterisk would allow gateways to be created in other locations such as the US, and use of SMS capable phones such as the Magic Messenger. SMS works using analogue or ISDN lines. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
