If I understand correctly, this means I'll need an extra SIM just to send messages -- is that right? I build a Kannel server so that it can talk to a terminal that is on the network and can send messages. (It's an awful lot of extra hardware just for messaging capacity that will only be used by a few users, though.) What if I don't want to get my own terminal? > Most operators wont allow direct connectivity unless you delivering > 10's of millions of SMSs per month and you'll have to go through an > aggregator. Can you show me an example of an aggregator? -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
