There are sites that post the SMS/GSM codes for most world-wide network carriers. So Kannel uses a GSM modem to link up to these carriers?
For example, if we want to send in the US and Canada, we would need some sort of agreement with the network carriers to send to customers on their networks? ie. To send a msg to a user in Canada using Rogers Wireless: we have the number, and want to push the message to them.
As I'm not too familiar with the use of GSM modems, I would like some more information about how to use them with Kannel and how to link up to world-wide carriers?
Thank you

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.
