Hello Everyone,

We have an order for SMS messaging. Can you gents and ladies be kind enough to
disclose if SMS is possible using Asterisk? What is a quick way to test a `Hello World`
to my cell. Finally, do all service providers support SMS messaging?


Kind Regards,


Jayson.

It's possible.  Might want to look through everything here:

Certainly with an Asterisk-compatible GSM card such as the OpenVox G400P /
G400E, and some SIM cards, it is possible to send and receive SMS messages.
Which one you need to buy is dependent on your motherboard's expansion slots:
G400P is PCI (32 bit) and G400E is PCI-express. SMS is baked into the GSM
standard, so every mobile telephone company in the world have to support it.


You can send a message from the Asterisk CLI with a command such as

cli> gsm send sms <span> <dest> "<message text>" <id>

and therefore, from any programming language that has `backticks` or some
other way to execute a shell command.


Beware! You may discover very quickly that "unlimited" (as in when your
telco promises "unlimited SMS messages") does not really mean what you think
it means :/

Double beware! Some telcos charge for the delivery report (which is required
by the driver software to know if or not the message was sent successfully);
and some telcos require you to obtain written permission in advance to use
their SIM in anything other than an ordinary mobile handset, on pain of
disconnection.


You can of course also use this piece of kit to receive SMS messages (they
are logged under /var/log/asterisk/sms/ ; and also, an extension is triggered
in your dialplan when a message comes in, with some channel variables
populated with the originating number, message content and some other goodies)
and dial and answer voice calls.

You send/receive sms directly to a VoIP provider. The provider has to
support it. I sent and received to/from polycom and cell phone.

I didn't test: mms, a Q'ing mechanism if the cell/VoIP phone were
unavailable. I used the native sms app, it never failed on about 20 tests.

I've installed a few of these cards, on Debian or Ubuntu using Asterisk and
Dahdi compiled from Source Code, and it's always gone smoothly.

Note that the Chan_extra driver for the OpenVox card applies patches to your
Asterisk and Dahdi sources, which it expects to be somewhere under /usr/src/;
and you may need to read the OpenVox forum at
http://bbs.openvox.cn/
if you have a really new version with a change that OpenVox haven't
anticipated; but when you do get it installed, it Just Works™. There's a beta
version of chan_extra linked from the forum which I haven't been able to try
yet.
