Hey Loloviolo,
I think Kannel is the best solution for you. We use Kannel to connect to
3 mobile operators using SMPP and send/receive millions of messages a month.
My recommendation is that you deploy Kannel connected via SMPP to the
Bulk SMS provider and send messages from your website to Kannel using
the HTTP sendsms interface.
You should look out for routing and security issues though:
- Hide your Kannel sendsms URL from your website visitors. You can
develop a wrapper using your favorite scripting language (python, php, etc.)
- Check the routing policies of your bulk sms provider.
This way you will have a complete SMS gateway handling all routing and
queuing tasks between the bulk sms provider and your website.

Hi,
I need to send SMS from websites.
I moved from a "Kannel + GSM" system to a Bulk SMS provider system due
to increasing volumes.
I am not targeting BulkSMS provider URL instead of Kannel machine web
URL.
The problem is that I need a SMPP bind to BulkSMS provider to get
Delivery reports and feeds MySQL.
I suppose that running Kannel only for that purpose is not the best way.
I found 2 ways that can fit my needs but still not succeed :
- Perl Net:SMPP
http://search.cpan.org/~sampo/Net-SMPP-1.11/SMPP.pm
Even I suppose it is the best way. I am not familliar with perl and
don't know how to proceed to cron that on my linux server.
- Lightweight PHP SMPP API
https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsmppapi/
I tried to run the exemples but no results (blank page)
Please help if you are using such a system or advise if not. Other
script or exemples are welcome too.
Thanks for your help.
