Hello, I have no idea what this is referred to as, so I will try to explain: I have a client interested in setting up a mobile phone text message service where a mobile user would send a text to a short (say 5 digit) 'telephone' number. I've seen commercials on TV where you could send a numeric/text code to a SMS gateway number, and it charges your mobile account for the returned text message or downloadable ringer/etc. Without knowing much about how to access this service, it seems relatively straightforward. I did a few web searches however I'm not sure what magic keyword I'm missing for the search. Could anyone point me in the right direction? The service would be established in Canada and potentially the United States. I have called two of the largest mobile operators, but no one can get me to the right department. As far as experience with texting goes, I have worked on some systems that do M2M (machine-to-machine) SMS communication, always using full mobile telephone numbers (GSM modems).

*snip* These are SMS short codes. Essentially you purchase service from an SMS aggregator (that's your missing key word) and you can bulk send your SMS through some sort of API or HTML gateway. They will generally have agreements with the mobile networks to have anything that is sent to a particular short code forwarded onto the aggregator so that they can make them available to you. A Google search for "SMS aggregator US" should point you in the right direction, although I've only had direct experience (and a few years ago now) with Opera Telecom in the UK. B

Why not use an e-mail to SMS gateway from whichever carrier? -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671
Many people consider these (carrier email to SMS gateways) too unreliable as there are no SLAs from the carriers, and sometimes experience long delays in message delivery, or just flat out dropped messages. If this is what you are depending on for outage notification that's a big risk. Some people use a serial interface to a specific model cell phones to directly send the message over the carrier's cellular network. This is good in the event of isolation of a location from any IP connectivity to a carrier gateway. I believe there was another solution that involved direct carrier connections, but these are most likely cost prohibitive in most situations. There is a good thread on this somewhere a little while back in the NANOG archives with more details of the solutions. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: Alex Balashov [mailto:abalashov@evaristesys.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 11:53 AM To: Shane Ronan Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: SMS Shane Ronan wrote:

We have the MTCBA-G-U-F4-ED (the USB version) and have not had any trouble. I had to modify the Linux kernel driver for the chipset used to load the firmware correctly (and optionally externally instead of just compiled in), but those changes are in the upstream kernel now. We haven't had any problem with it locking up or anything; the server with it attached has been up for a year (as of 41 minutes ago :-) ) with no problems (haven't had to pull the modem or anything like that). We have an AT&T SIM card in it, and we did have problems with AT&T's SMS several months ago; for several hours, they were rejecting messages from our modem. Now I have an additional monitor that sends a message to itself periodically, and (of course) we haven't had that problem since. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
We have a package which uses the MultiTech line of modems coupled with software that will watch files on your network and generate SMS messges (or SNPP, WCTP, TAP, FAX, etc). The underlying engine is a highly customized version of PageGate software from NotePage, Inc. Part of our customization was to defeat the issue you mentioned of "modem suspension". It was initially designed for high volume short messages of a critical nature and is in use in numerous Public Safety (Fire/Police/EMS) communications centers. Often, the Public Safety agency will contract with us to provide and install the system, then the IT department realizes the benefits of using it to monitor their systems.

That is shocking. I have had a fantastic track record with a Maestro 100 GSM modem with a serial interface. One of my customers has one powered on for about a year now, and it's never missed a beat. They apparently support TCP/IP and the datasheet mentions something about email, but I have no idea what that really means, and don't really care so much. I send it standard GSM AT commands, and it just works. I've done the whole old nokia handset thing in the past several times and it's *ok*. Now though, I say don't bother, this thing is maybe a couple hundred dollars, and saves you oodles of time fooling around making it work reliably. -- Nathan Ward

This question frequently arises on the VoIP/Asterisk lists, since it is a question that VoIP service providers often wish to answer - "How do I SMS-enable my VoIP customer numbers?" In other areas of the world, SMS is much more easily tied into existing voice networks - in the UK (among others) for instance, SMS is possible over PRI connections, which enables "land lines" to send and receive SMS messages. Clickatell, the company referenced previously, is based in South Africa. Buying their service for delivery of SMS into North America means that your messages will be sent with a "generic" short-code, which is not guaranteed and has in the past even been blocked by carriers. Users cannot reply to those messages, because many other companies are using the same short code return address. If you look at their website, you'll see that if you live in one of a few non-NA nations, you can buy an actual phone number (not a short code) which can be used for high-volume bidirectional communication via SMS. Here in North America, we're basically out of luck unless you hack together a hardware-based SMS device, and even that may be not reliable since carriers explicitly state that their accounts cannot be shared, and a large number of SMS messages to/from a particular account may cause it to be disconnected without warning. It appears to me that carriers have taken the stance that SMS should be for infrequent messages between actual fingers (no automation allowed!) or via short codes, and short codes involve a significant amount of cost, configuration, and even arbitrary approvals from the carriers on the use of a short code. If you look at the form required for a short code request, you'll discover that it's not for generic use - it's geared entirely for ad campaigns. A few years ago I tried searching for SMS-enabled SIP telephone numbers (DIDs) and found that there was a new service available, but the monthly price floor was pretty steep. I still have not met anyone actually offering the service, but I'm sure there must be resellers of it by now. It was Level 3, offering SIP trunks with DIDs on them. Another company, Syniverse, was then SMS-enabling those numbers in an exclusive agreement. Payment had to go to each company, separately. The costs per number to enable SMS were fairly low, and the costs for message transmission were fairly low, but the Level 3 minimum purchase price was quite high (imagine that you could buy a nice sports car every month with the "minimum payment".) I have no idea if this service is still available, or how successful it's been. If anyone now has direct experience with a reseller or small distributor of this service, let me know - I'm still looking for a SIP- capable DID that can handle SMTP/SMPP/XML-HTML transmission of SMS messages with some decent volume (200-1000 messages per day.) Here's a message in a thread from a while back on this topic which has some pointers: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2008-October/220726.html JT --- John Todd email:jtodd@digium.com Digium, Inc. | Asterisk Open Source Community Director 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville AL 35806 - USA direct: +1-256-428-6083 http://www.digium.com/

If your monitoring system has reliable IP connectivity, I can recommend Clickatell. If not, try one of the cellular modem kludges people have described. For my own amusement, I wrote a little hack that takes the voicemail messages that my VoIP service mails me, extracts a few salient facts of calling number and message length, and sends me an SMS notification to my mobile phone so I know to call and pick up my messages. Works great. R's, John
Another for this list is http://msgme.com/. Setting up your own short codes is an expensive and long process, so you are usually best starting off with a shared code from one of these companies and you can migrate down the line if the revenue/volume is there to make it worthwhile. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: Express Web Systems [mailto:mailinglists@expresswebsystems.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 11:19 AM To: 'Shaun Rossi'; nanog@nanog.org Subject: RE: SMS Shaun, This is called "Short code sms messaging". www.clickatell.com offers this service and is considered to be one of the bigger players in the SMS market.

Hello,
I have no idea what this is referred to as, so I will try to explain: I have a client interested in setting up a mobile phone text message service where a mobile user would send a text to a short (say 5 digit) 'telephone' number. I've seen commercials on TV where you could send a numeric/text code to a SMS gateway number, and it charges your mobile account for the returned text message or downloadable ringer/etc.
Without knowing much about how to access this service, it seems relatively straightforward.
I did a few web searches however I'm not sure what magic keyword I'm missing for the search. Could anyone point me in the right direction? The service would be established in Canada and potentially the United States. I have called two of the largest mobile operators, but no one can get me to the right department.
As far as experience with texting goes, I have worked on some systems that do M2M (machine-to-machine) SMS communication, always using full mobile telephone numbers (GSM modems).
