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?

i'm using gammu[1] with a 3g dongle and my own chip with my preffer
provider. It can send over 700 every our and receive to. I don't know if
you need asterisk and sms in the same way but with this tool you can make
everything. It has python tools to.


Best regards.

Emiliano.

I've used that, with an old pre-smartphone mobile as a GSM modem.  It has
the
usual GUI frontend and scriptable backend.  But it is separate from Asterisk.


I have also used the OpenVox G400P/E in the past, which integrates beautifully 
with Asterisk  (incoming text messages, successfully sent outgoing messages 
and failed sent outgoing messages trigger extensions in the dialplan);  but 
this card has been "no longer recommended for new designs" for some
time now
(chan_extra won't even build against recent kernel or Asterisk versions).


Be aware that if you send too many text messages in too short a timespan, your 
telco might deem that to be in excess of their "fair use policy" --
although
the exact dividing line between fair and unfair use seems to be a jealously-
guarded secret.  The only way to find out for sure is to cross it .....
