Does anyone know of a program/extention to asterisk that would allow me to either text message my asterisk box or IM it from AIM on my cell phone to allow it to call me? I've been looking with google yet can't find anything. I don't code, so I'm SOL there, so I'm looking for something premade. I plan on taking a class on perl during the fall semester at my local community college, so if there isn't something like this out there already, maybe I can get one out there.
I think I saw something a while back that would allow Asterisk to check AIM to see if a user of an extension was in front of their desk or not then send to VMail or whatever. This may be a start for you but I can't recall the name of it or where the info is. -- Wholesale Private Label Internet Access! http://www.YourOwnISP.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scheda" <scheda@gmail.com> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Sunday, March 13, 2005 11:47 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM> Does anyone know of a program/extention to asterisk that would allow > me to either text message my asterisk box or IM it from AIM on my cell > phone to allow it to call me?

The protocols may be strange (they are) and the pricing models vary greatly, but there are many receive interface to sms:es. At least, there are in Europe and I cannot imagine the operators turning down another revenue generating service in the US. Peter
There is a program for linux called centericq, this program is for connecting a linux box to aim, icq, msn, etc something like trillian. Anyway, this centericq lets you define external commands that can run when you send it a message containing certain words. Also, you can define a "system" call in asterisk. The way I see this is simple: Install centericq on your linux box and get a nick for it so it will connect to all messengers as would a person. Then define on its external command file a keyword to create a .call file for asterisk. Then it is simple, just send a message via any messenger to your linux box and it will create the call file and asterisk will process it, thus, calling you. :) How does that sound? -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Scheda Sent: Domingo, 13 de Marzo de 2005 11:48 a.m. To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Text Messaging or AIM Does anyone know of a program/extention to asterisk that would allow me to either text message my asterisk box or IM it from AIM on my cell phone to allow it to call me?

So you basically want an SMS or IM callback app right? One way to do this would be send an email to an address like (callmeback@domain.com) and have a cronjob query/pop this email address for your specific message and then when it finds it have it create a .call file to call you and connect you to whatever context you setup, etc. Shouldn't be very hard at all. This would allow for emails and I'm pretty sure every cell can send an email. As for IM/AIM I'd just find a Perl AIM package (quick google returned: http://search.cpan.org/~aryeh/Net-AIM-1.22/AIM.pm) and again it same thing, if it gets a IM with the correct details in it, simply create a .call file to call your cell. Again this too should be pretty easy to setup. Here's the link to creating .call files: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+auto-dial+out Jess

Instead of putting a naked phone number in the To: field, put in an e-mail address. At least with Cingular, you need to have text messaging enabled on your cell phone account. --Eric -- Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. Mark Twain
