[Asterisk-Users] Happy Wednesday Morning SMS question, slightly OT

[Iqbal Gandham]

I guess, but just as you dont have to really worry about howto send out 
pstn, unless u plug in the E1 into your box, you can just handoff the 
traffic to a sms providers, they interconnect and send sms worldwide 
just as voip is done.
