I'm missing something fundamental here in the docs, and mail lists/archives, and am having trouble in understanding what Kannel is used for - how it's used I guess?
I more or less have it set up and working - well, it works fine in the 'fake message' mode for SMS, and probably wap too. At least it all starts with no errors. I can even use the web to do the admin bit... However - I read that to actually send/receive SMS messages, I need to .... what ? ... have internet access to a SMS Centre, like the telco, and they aren't going to give me access, no way. ... somehow use a mobile phone as a gateway/link, which means the outgoing SMS message will still route through the telco's service and be charged accordingly - so just use that anyway? ... somehow use a dial up modem, to connect to where? the internet? service call flagfall is more than the cost of SMS in that case... As I say, I'm obviously missing something very fundamental here when it comes to using Kanne in any useful way. Obviously too many people are using it... The WAP gateway I more or less understand. It simply interfaces to the wml content pages on my server. Using the phone, I have an Ericsson T630, I can set up a profile that goes directly to my gateway/server, not via the telco's I believe. anyway - If some kind soul would care to clarify this fundamental operation a bit for me, I'd most appreciate it. Thank you Regards Robert
