Title: RE: How to connect sends and receives (statefulness)

The only successful way I have seen of doing this is to use a big enough bank of
recycleable MSISDNS for the source address. That way you can match the originating message
to the response within a reasonable time window and reuse the MSISDN subsequently.

Unfortunately, big banks of MSISDNs tend be a scarce, operator controlled resource so you
need some clout and a viable business model.

Subject: How to connect sends and receives (statefulness)

I want to send out lots of different riddles and then track the replies
coming in and check if the answer is correct.

I need some way of connecting the riddle ID to the answer coming in. I can
use ersatz methods like guessing based on the time I sent the message and
the replying phone number, but I hope that something exists inside the SMPP
protocol.

More generally, any information on how to maintain statefulness across
numerous messages would be helpful.

TIA

Matt
