Hi Stelios,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the note. To be clear, I understand technically how to send and receive messages.</div><div><br></div><div>I was (am) looking for a service that provides the transport to/from cell carriers and the PSTN network for the messages themselves.</div>

similar services, sms reception/transmission on a pstn DID can be done<br>
with asterisk.<br>
Most DECT phones support this feature by setting an smsc number.<br>
When a call comes from the smsc number the DECT phone 'automagically"<br>
answers the call and enters a "modem" state where it exchanges data with<br>
the smsc.<br>
When you want to send an sms, the phone calls the smsc number and does<br>
the same procedure.<br>
Getting sms from mobiles to the same pstn number requires your provider<br>
to support that, but if they have and smsc usually they do<br>
<br>
Asterisk can work as an sms originator (talking to an smsc), a sms<br>
receiver/forwarder and also act as an smsc for your local dect phones<br>
Works nicely for small volumes of messages.<br>
