Ive used these in the past.
http://www.2n.cz/products/gsm_gateways/voip_gsm_gateway/voiceblue_enterprise_voip_gsm_gateway.html

sound fine, work well...
reliable etc etc..

things to watch out for... :

* cant send your own caller ID from them ( in my experience its locked to the sim )
* your provider might block the IMEI number of the GSM terminal, if they dont like what your doing.

just some stuff to consider.

since you can use SMTP/POP3 to manage SMS.

Guys, I was looking at the advantages and disadvantages of having a GSM gateway vs. a GSM board.

The conclusions I get are:

Board pros

1. Boards are able to get/send SMS without SIP "tricks"
2. You don't have to make a SIP call to check if channel is available and don't rely o SIP messages to get channel status
3. FS will be able to check for signal level on the board and fire events on pre-defined thresholds.

Gateway pros

1. I think of is the a GW can be used by more then one server, therefore, can have failover.
2. A GW is more scalable

It would be nice if you, that have already used GSM GWs in production, could comment on this.

Thanks,

There are gateways that allow you to set your own caller ID? I thought it'd always use the number of the SIM.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I think I will go with PORTech for now.

@João Mesquita: Let me know when mod_khomp is done, I might consider
getting some khomps in the future when the module is ready.

Diego
