Hello Guys,
I read a post sometime in 2003 about SMPP & Billing somehow it wasn't
conclusive, does anyone know how kannel can Implement Billing via an SMPP
connection to an SMSC?
Else {
Suggestions as to how to implement reverse billing. ;)
}
billing within SMPP v3.4 itself is not a "defined concept". Which means the
protocol isn't aware of any logic or semantic about the billing. The protocol
handles in its core only the transport logic. This is why a lot of SMPP
operators use optional TLV fields that are within the vendor-specific range to
implement specific billing/accounting logic.
What we do inside the SMPP client module is:
Use deliver_sm.serivce_type to map to an sms.binfo field that can be used at
application layer.
Same the other way arroun for MT, so sms.binfo is injected to
submit_sm.service_type.
Which does not mean this is "enough" for billing. It all depends on your SMPP
provider, please get into touch with them and let them define you explicitly how
to handle.
