I'm trying to find some info on how to build my own SMS Gateway. I've been looking at services like message bird. How do they function exactly, and how can I build a service like them?
Thanks

I am currently learning the microservice architecture with rabbitMQ to communicate between them. I got the idea to manage the communication between different microservices but I don't really find out how does the client can manage to communicate with my microservices.
For example if I create a user via my web app, do I have to send the request to the exchange directly that will send it to the account service (how can I send it to my exchange?) or do I need a sort of API Gateway to get all my request and then transfer to the exchange?
Thanks in advance,
Yes, you need a gateway of some sort. More info here: https://microservices.io/
The only information I found is that you can view those events through ceilometer or RabbitMQ. Would be nice if I can get those events directly through APIs.
Each of the openstack services have 'exchanges' and 'topics' in rabbitmq
you can use Rabbitmq to connect to these exchanges and topics to get notifications via messages.
Unfortunately, currently there is no way to get notifications from individual OpenStack services.
I need to send and receive SMS messages, but not on a phone. Sending is somewhat easy, as there are oodles of gateways that can be used. The challenge that I'm running into is handling responses received.
Can anyone point in me in the right direction of services or devices that can handle 2 way SMS short of an actual phone.
SMS GATEWAY ME is an android app that you can download for free.
I like it because it's free and easy to use. All you do is send a HTTP post to their server and it sends out a message from your phone.
You can set up rules on the site to get it to forward incoming messages to your server using HTTP / Email as well.
There are some 2 way SMS gateways out there. A quick search found this one: http://www.txtimpact.com/api.asp all I did was google for 2-way sms gateway.
Here's an example that uses Wammu under Linux:

Good luck!
I've been tasked with a project where the customer would like to send SMS, MMS messages from a mobile device. They would like to have a dedicated phone number to send these messages to. We would like these messages get routed through a gateway so it can be processed in a Java Application Server and have the server generate a response that will make its way back to the users mobile device. The server side of this will be done in Java.
I'm new to this and trying to understand the best approach. Please let me know what services and APIs are available that will allow me to do this. It seems like there are plenty of services available to get the message from the server to the phone, but I'm not clear on the mechanism for getting the message from the device routed to the Java application server.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You could get yourself an old Nokia 3210 or something with a data cable and connect it to a server.
There are a bunch of companies that can provide a phone number to receive incoming sms messages as well as send them (not sure about MMS; that is a different story). One of them is Clickatell. They have a variety of API's you can use from Java.

There are some services which allow you to define a callback URL, so when their server receives an SMS, they forward the data to you via HTTP POST. Of course, there are several proprietary protocols, and SMPP (e.g. http://opensmpp.logica.com/), but that's a lot more complicated.
An example of such a service is http://www.textmagic.com/app/pages/en/products/bulk-sms-gateway-api
I want an SMS service that maps incoming SMS-es to an http request to my server and maps my HTTP response to an SMS reply. Can someone recommend an SMS gateway that provides reasonable service to North America?
Thre are lots of providers out there that can provide this (see google here or here). There are also some guides on the web such as "How to Choose an SMS Gateway Provider".
A couple of examples that look pretty professional (however i have not used them):
