asterisk users - Nov 2016 - Asterisk compatibility with SMS services

Can anyone comment on using SMS in conjunction with VoIP service using 
one of these three VoIP providers: voip.ms, vitelity.com, flowroute.com? 
Are some SMS services more compatible with Asterisk (i.e. SMS over SIP 
works perfectly or not)? Is it best to use a different data channel for 
SMS messages (i.e. SMS via HTTP, SMS via XMPP) instead of Asterisk's 
built in SMS application MessageSend 
<http://www.anveo.com/faq.asp?code=sip_asterisk_sms>? In order to 
develop a web application for sending and receives SMS messages for 
business users, are there any pitfalls in using Asterisk to handle the 
message exchanges?

Im using SMS successfully over VoIP. No problems at all. You however need to use
a good codec.

 

However, I don?t use the MessageSend application, instead I use the raw SMS()
application.

This works by the SMS centre calling my fixed landline from a specific number, I
detect the callerid, initiate a SMS reception and then the SMS is in the spool
files.

If I want to send a outgoing SMS, I push a SMS file in the spool folder, then
initate a call to the SMS centre.

 

Ergo, incoming is like this (as early as possible in the dialplan):

 

exten => s,[any],GotoIf($[${CALLERID(num)} = 07409400000]?recvsms,s,1)

(where 07409400000 is your SMS centre number)

 

Then at recvsms:

[recvsms]

exten => s,1,SMS(in-${clid},a)

exten => s,2,System(/usr/sbin/mailbot sms ${clid})

exten => s,3,Hangup()

 

(where /usr/sbin/mailbot is a script that reads /var/spool/asterisk/mtrx folder,
and clid is a variable containing a random number)

 

 

 

Outgoing is like this:

Place a file named [RandomA].[RandomB] into /var/spool/asterisk/motx with the
following content:

da=[number you want to send to]

ud=[text you want to send, only GSM alphabet supported, composite messages NOT
supported]

 

Then create the following file into /var/spool/asterisk/tmp:

Channel: SIP/0740940000 at YOUROPERATOR

Callerid: "[YOURNUM]" <[YOURNUM]>

Application: SMS

Data: [RandomA]

 

(where 0740940000 is your SMS center)

Move the file from tmp into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ and the SMS will be
sent.

That's pretty cool, thank you for the details. You are using the builtin 
SMS application that exchanges SMS data over SIP / PSTN connections. I 
don't believe I can get service like that in Canada. Does anyone use the 
SMS applications to send and receive SMS messages in North America? Who 
provides that service?
