I successfully installed JasminSMS on Ubuntu, added SMS provider informations such as hostname, port, user and password, but failed to receive test SMS using HTTP API:
http://127.0.0.1:1401/send?username=foo&password=bar&to=*********&content=hello
I'm writing my own number, but I don't receive it. What other configuration do I need to do?
In this scenario (you want to terminate an SMS message by using Jasmin's HTTP API) you need:
Jasmin SMS Gateway installed
An HTTP user configured in Jasmin SMS (this can be done in the included CLI)
An SMPP connector configured in Jasmin SMS to connect to an SMS service provider. The credentials will be supplied by your SMS vendor of choice.
A routing rule in Jasmin SMS Gateway to decide which SMPP connector to use
This is all well-documented here https://docs.jasminsms.com/en/latest/installation/index.html#sending-your-first-sms
If your HTTP API call is successful you'll receive an HTTP success code (200) and a GUID. Jasmin SMS then tries to deliver the SMS message via the SMPP connector (according to the routing rule configured). If your SMS message was not received you need to look into the used SMPP-connector to troubleshoot further. If the message has been accepted by the SMPP connector of choice you'll have to contact your SMPP vendor and ask them to look into the possible delivery issues.
An SMS vendor is basically a company with agreements to various operators & aggregators around the world specializing in delivering SMS messages globally (or locally of course depending on their focus) for a price.
make sure u enter the smsc creditntials on the smpp connector and mae sure it is started(smppccm -1 cid) and check its sessision if it is bound smppccm -l
If I am receiving SMS messages through Twilio, is it reasonable to assume that I can authenticate the user solely through the phone number used to send it? Does Twilio perform any sort of spoofing detection?
Twilio developer evangelist here.
SMS sender ID spoofing is possible (we don't allow it on the Twilio platform) but it's not something we can detect if it is happening external to us.
It is possible that a bad actor could spoof a number and send to your Twilio number. SMS is not a secure method of communication, so in general I would recommend that you don't respond to incoming messages with sensitive information.
Ultimately, an SMS sender ID cannot intrinsically be totally secure, this doesn't stop it being useful to work with, it's just a risk that needs to be considered and managed.
What is the difference between SMS Carrier & SMS Gateway.
Also what is the role of an aggregator in Gateway ?
SMS Carriers are the wireless service providers like T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, etc. These companies use their own proprietary communication protocol.
We cannot connect two SMS centers if they do not support a common protocol. To deal with this, an SMS Gateway is placed between them. It will translate one protocol to another, and can be used by different wireless carriers to interconnect.
SMS Gateway software providers are referred to as SMS Aggregators. They have multiple agreements with the large mobile network providers to send and receive text messages through these networks' SMS centers.
One of my customer is asking for setting up his own sms gateway, where his employees share sms freely. I suggested him to go with 1 of the bulk SMS API offered by other vendors. But he is willing to setup his own.
So when i went through different open source SMS gateways i found Kannel is best one. But it looks like we need to buy GSM SIM with some SMS package with GSM modem. By this every SMS sent will be chargable.
My questions is, how do way2sms, 160by2 works? I mean do they get charged by there vendor for free SMS sent by users? If no, Then how users are able to send free SMS?
Free sms is impossible with Kannel. Best way to deal with kannel is buying a sms-server service from a service provider. It will be very cheaper than normal connection fees.
USB Modem will give you problems when try to send bulk sms.
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:
