Further to comments by Gagan and Pierluigi, i would like to add that slowly Amrican operators are showing the trend shift towards GSM networks. I guess i heard of operator in US migrating to GSM around 2 months back. Guess the name was Cincinnati wireless, though not sure(someone pls confirm). So, you can use kannel as long as GSM modem is connected to network and i am sure GSM networks are there in US.
I guess the idea is simply to build EDGE/GPRS services on top of GSM base. regards Navjot Singh |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of |Gagan Chadha |Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 9:17 PM |To: 'Pierluigi Campidoglio'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: RE: Using Kannel in United States | | |Hello All |SMS sending or receiving via a GSM modem absolutely depends on the SIM |card that you using, the operator who has provided you the SIM card, if |he has tie-ups placed in the US with the GSM and other operators, SMS |sending works perfect. |You need to make sure from your SIM operator whether sending SMS to US |networks both GSM and TDMA/CDMA is supported or not. | |Kannel just facilities sending/receiving messages, which could be via a |GSM modem or SMS-C. | |Any comments? | |Regards, |Gagan | |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf |Of Pierluigi Campidoglio |Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 5:27 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: Using Kannel in United States | | |Hi Edwin, |I suppose, anyway, that kannel does not support SMS messaging thru' a |TDMA/CDMA modem/phone...
