i am in germany and use app_sms to send sms messgaes to mobile phones.
app_sms does not talk directly to mobile phones but to the sms message
center that in turn sends the sms to the mobile.
sending sms works very well to all mobile networks (i use it for
notification of voicemail new messages). receiving incoming sms is a bit
more tricky as you have to send a sms message from your mobile to a non
mobile number and some providers will use text to speech to read the
contents of the message if they detect a fixed line number as
destination number. therefore receiving sms works only if the sender
uses t-online or a fixed line phone via deutsche telekom.

hope that helps

Is it possible to use the sms_app over zap without the .call file?

I tried the example with zap behind a hipath. Reciving a SMS works fine, but if
i send an SMS using the .call file i recive an SMS without a message.
Why didn't you use the lines?
Application: SMS
Data: default,,<MOBILE NUMBER>,<MESSAGE TO SEND>
You didn't need the smsdial context that way!!!

yes i almost forgot about that one. app_sms can also act as a message
center itself: so if you connect some sms capable fixed line phone to
asterisk you can send sms messages to and receive messages from that
phone.

ok. the best resource is probably the wiki 
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20cmd%20Sms
- but i am sure you already got that.
I am using asterisk-1.0.2 with the following config:

extensions.conf:

[capi-in]
exten => s/01930100,1,NoOp(incoming sms ${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s/01930100,2,Answer
exten => s/01930100,3,Wait(2)
exten => s/01930100,4,SMS(default,a)
exten => s/01930100,5,Hangup
...

[smsdial]
exten => _X.,1,SMS(default,,${EXTEN},${MSG})
exten => _X.,2,SMS(default)
exten => _X.,3,Hangup
exten => h,1,Hangup

The [capi-in] context is the context where i send all my incoming calls
from pots to. Based on the callerid (01930100 is the callerid the t-com
message center sends, see list in wiki) incoming sms messages are
detected and send to app_sms in answer mode. (Note the wait(2) which is
really needed in order to allow the message center to catch up)

The [smsdial] context is used for sending outgoing sms messages.
To send messages i am using a small perl script that places a .call file
into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing with the following content:

Channel: CAPI/<MY MSN>:b<NUMBER OF MESSAGE CENTER, i.e. 0193010>
MaxRetries: 2
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 30
Context: smsdial
Extension: <MOBILE NUMBER>
Priority: 1
SetVar: MSG=<MESSAGE TO SEND>

You will find the perl script attached but be warned it is not ready for
production as it doesn't do any input validation!

Thats what i did here, too. So german telecom knows i dont like that
lady, but any other mobile providers still "talk" to me.
