[asterisk-biz] DID's with messaging?

[Nir Simionovich]

Hi Guys,

   Having worked in the mobile industry, the SMSC isn't the only 
component here that is required. First off, you'll need that your
DID provider be able to carry the unique signaling nature of SMS via 
your IP connection.

   Now, let us imagine that you're using an MVNO, you'll need two 
distinct connections to the MVNO, one for VoIP and one for SMS. In 
addition, at the carrier level, most carrier will prefer the SMPP 
protocol - not HTTP or another XML based variant. The reason is that 
SMPP is a standard support by almost any mobile switch manufacturer. At 
that point, you'll need to use something like Kannel in order to 
facilitate that specific inter-connect.

   Now, let us say that we want to traverse an SMS from the IP world, 
connected to Asterisk, to the mobile world. Apart from an SMS MT 
provider, we'll need a proper connection. If we want to do this directly 
from Asterisk, we'll either need a direct connection to the SMSC and the 
SMS MT provider level (I doubt that will happen), or some form of an 
external interface means - again, defeats the purpose I believe.

   Integrating SMPP into Asterisk is interesting, but I'm not sure that 
it is a worthwhile task for the project to take in any case.
