[asterisk-users] SMS text messaging capabilities

[Elliot Murdock]

Hello,

Thanks for all of your help.  For testing, I am trying to set up a
loopback sms run.  However, the sms message does not seem to go
through.  Here are the details of the the loopback test:

1. The initial sms send command:
smsq --motx-channel="Zap/g3/2285267" 7286657 "test"

Note that 7285267 is a DID that directs back into the Asterisk system
over the digium Zap device.

2. Here the dialplan for handling the incoming sms call:
exten => 7285267,1,noop("SMS ${EXTEN}")
exten => 7285267,2,sms(${EXTEN}|as)
exten => 7285267,3,hangup

I would assume that this dialplan will simply process the incoming
call and save the message in the /var/spool/asterisk/sms/ directory.
However, no incoming message appears in any directory.  Furthermore,
no sms log file ever appears in the /var/log/asterisk directory
either.

This is the response I get from the the Asterisk console:

    -- Attempting call on Zap/g3/7285267 for application SMS(0) (Retry 1)
    -- Requested transfer capability: 0x00 - SPEECH

Thanks for any help,
