Hi,

I want to create a web app to send the message to SMS Gateway.
Try to google the suggested way is to use SMPP protocol.
But I can't find any easy package to send message thru SMPP.

Can any body give a pointer?


Rgrds,
Setiaman

From the way your email is worded, I think you are looking at doing this the wrong way.

Look at using something like BulkSMS - or an SMS USB device.

Don't start trying to figure out how SMPP and SS7 works, you'll only give yourself a head ache and it absolutely wouldn't be relevant to you.

Setiaman,

You can try to use service provider such as www.telapi.com to help you with SMS messages. 
Getting done SMS on your own will cost you much more time and money than you actually need to spend.

Nevio

You may have a look at http://www.rapidsms.org/

Hi Cal, Nevio and Anh

Thanks for your reply.
The reason I want to use SMPP is because I will send high volume of
SMS per month. So cost will be a factor here. The faster and reliable
protocol is using SMPP (at least this is what I know). Probably I need
to deal with Telco network or sms distributor. Some distributor
provide http protocol but they still recommend to use SMPP and I want
to use Python/Django to interact with their server.

You have give me some valuable information, especially RapidSMS.
It looks cool. I need to research it first.

Thanks guy.

Cheers,
Setiaman Lee

Just fyi, if you were working directly with an upstream provider (such as T-Mobile or O2), you would most likely need to be processing literally millions of messages a month.. you'd probably also need to meet minimum commit terms (such as throughput and contract duration).

I suspect anything short of this, and you'd just be refereed to a reseller, such as the ones mentioned previously.

Start out small with one of these resellers, then grow later :)

There are free gateways like kannel and vumi
