[asterisk-users] SMS gateway recommendation

[Nicolas Ross]

Here, we've tested in the past zimsms, but now the,re closed. We founded out 
that the most reliable and cost-effective way to send sms is with GPRS 
modem. Multitech manufacures excelent quality product for gprs, edge and 
others.

So we opened up an sms-only acount, it costs us 10$ / month for 1000 sms 
sent, plus 10c each after, plus some other fees like 911 fees, etc. We 
generelay sent no more than a couple hundeds.

With this modem hookup-up to a serial port, and a little program assuring 
the sending / receiving of sms (sms_link from Sourceforge)., and voilà !

Here in Canada, all cellular providers are hooked-up one to another for 
passing of sms', so I send out my sms' with Rogers, but any user in any 
network receives it in about 1 to  5 seconds. I don't know if it's the same 
in the US or other countries.

If you have more questions about the specifics, you can contact me.
