hi,
You dont need kannel if you can/want to talk directly to SMSC. Either you write HTTP client(which is so simple) or SMPP client(which is not much difficult).
1.
HTTP to your SMS server might return some status. succ/fail - use that to handle billing.
2.
In SMPP, your SMSC will return submit_sm_resp for submit_sm ad later deliver_sm (if requested). use that for billing. This can be some difficult task.
You want to use kannel if you want to connect your SMSC using SMPP but dont know/want to write SMPP client. kannel will act as middle man, will handle your simple HTTP request, convery it to SMPP request, send it to SMSC and update you with delivery status, whcih will help you in manage billing)
hope it clears navjot singh

We want to have per-user credits billing on our web application, which must be seamless. Does it matter if we use HTTP POST or SMPP?
To use SMPP, we need to have a server like Kannel, or is there an installable component (MS) we can use for this?
We're still trying to figure out how this all works, so your help is appreciated.
Thank you.
