sms aggregator implementation/application

What could be the use or application of SMS aggregators such as SMSLib or Kannel. Can I use them to send SMS's from my web server.

In case they can send SMS's will those be sent on a GSM channel or GPRS channel.

What would be the cost implications per sms on part of the customer and on part of my implementation process?

+1 A:

You can use those libraries/SDK's but you will still need to get a short code to send and receive SMS text messages to and from a mobile device.

OpenMarket offers this type of service as well as a number of software SDK's to implement your request. Also OpenMarket offers Premium SMS as well as MMS.

It's a lot easier then Kannel ;)

BTW if you just looking to send SMS via a web page and know what carrier the user is you might want to try the SMS gateway approach. It's using a special email address to send SMS to a mobile device, but I don't think they can reply to this type of message.

How do I get the facility of SMS gateway, do I have to approach a phone service provider, or is it provided free by some online websites?

also for the SMS Gateway you need to know the end user's carrier to send to the right email address.

Email gateways are not supported in Europe. Only it is in USA, in some carrier and with limit in traffic. I will recomend you contract SMS Push provider for 1-direction comunication.If you need 2-direction comunication, you have to contract short code with some sms aggregator.Normaly, aggregators have HTTP, SMPP or web services interfaces to connecting them.

Probably could post this as a new question with proper tags, that way more people would view it and you have a better chance of getting help? First of all why Python?What phones are you targeting? Iphone, Android... etc?You could have to look at PyS60, its a Python interpreter that Nokia has built for its S60 phones.You could have a look at
