Kannel is independent of GSM. It depends upon protocol of SMSC which is extended towards you. General protocols are SMPP and CIMD. Almost all SMSCs support SMPP. The network behind SMSC (GSM, CDMA, etc) is transparent to you.
If you are using modem and SIM, you would NOT be able to use masking feature, since it is not allowed over general SIMs. My previous discussion was related to if your application is connected directly to operator network over internet, and you have a valid account from their SMSC. My info about US telcos are very limited. Maybe someone else could help. On Fri, May 27, 2011 at 10:50 AM, Ryan Lester <[email protected]> wrote: > Interesting, thanks.
