I'm not fluent with the SMS protocol but aren't SMS tagged with a unique id for each message? In such case the SMS gateway knows which reply goes to which originating SMS message. Couldn't the SMS gateway also track which was the JID associated with the originating SMS? It seems to me that if the SMS gateway can translate a XMPP message to a SMS it can do the other way around and probably has all the cards to perform the mapping both ways. - Sylvain -- Sylvain Hellegouarch http://www.defuze.org
