Hi

SMS box does make an attempt at billing system ( yes in prepaid too), It cant check for available credit but it can definitely deduct X amount if sufficent balance is there. This is usually configured at SMSC end and the operator would ask you to change the global sender parameter for this..we have been using this successfully..In our case sending an sms for ex. from 555 deducts Re.1 from the customers end and sending an sms from 5551 deducts Rs.30/- per SMS

For the second question, the operator wont allow you any access to check if the customer has sufficent balance cos you wont be given any access to their billing database at all..this is what we were also looking for !! hope Kannel experts can throw some light on this

hope this helps...

Hi

as per my knowledge smsbox is postpaid arcitecture

as far as i understand, smsbox makes no attempt at being a billing system of any type

can anybody suggest me how can i use it with users
credit
check

what configuration is required for that?

you send sms via HTTP, so the script that sends the sms needs to check your billing system for available credit.

cheers
