We need to send and receive SMS messages (no WAP pushes) to the US market only, at a very low traffic. Probably a few thousand a week at the most. Most of time, we'll do a few hundred.
We need delivery to be fast but not immediate. Our customers are willing to wait a few minutes for receipt, but not more than about 10 minutes. We expect to send messages to about 500 handsets at a time. We don't need any PSMS features. Kannel seems really interesting, and much more economical than going through mBlox or some other aggregator. Do I just need to go out and buy a GSM modem, then rip a sim card out of a phone that I got through a carrier and I'm ready to go? A really basic walkthrough would be very appreciated. Matt
