However it's probably easier to use something like Kannel which has an http interface and then either connect that to an SMSC or locally through a GSM terminal (phone). SMSC connections and pricing will vary depending on what country you're in. As a small customer (in the UK at least) it's unlikely you'd get an connection to an operator's SMSC and you'd have to go through an aggregator.

As that works all-internal, it is of course free. The handling of incoming SMS from "the world", as well as outbound SMS, is far more tricky, and usually requires an outside gateway. I use the landline SMS facility of several Siemens gigaset phones connected to my Asterisk server through e.g. AVM boxes, but only for internal messages. This works fine, after a bit dialplan hacking. You will need to "Wait()" for at least 2 seconds before the actual SMS command can take over, else you will have lots of failed calls. This at least applies to my Siemens/AVM combination. Reliable after inserting a 2 second wait. For anything else, I prefer using my mobile phone, just thinking about those 100 free texts a month that I never manage to use up :) BR Anselm
