It is a great idea to setup a wiki for newbie, the current wiki is too simple, and userguide is not suitable for newbie.

In my opinion, having a crowdsourced book out there is one better way of learning how to use Kannel (and user lists such as stackoverflow are best for questions). There are times integrations with application platforms becomes hard with Kannel (especially if you just read their documentation)... some budding programmers want to see something actionable. Later, we can have links to example applications (built off any imaginable platform: django, rails, and PHP, and others of course) --> this can be hosted on github (ref links to github will be stored in the wikibooks).

Kannel has load balancing using round robin scenario AFAIK. You just need to name all smsc-id with same name. There are some brands and you can found recommendation in the archives.

And also what kind of GSM Modem you have used perfectly with kannel? so far I have w200 it's good but it switches to file transfer mode automatically every 2, 3 days. ߣ∂ςқ On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 4:03 PM, Willy Mularto <sangpr...@gmail.com> wrote: no problem On Nov 4, 2011, at 5:50 PM, angel eyez wrote: Thanks buddy u save me :) Subject: Re: Understand Kannel From: sangpr...@gmail.com Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 17:47:28 +0700 CC:users@kannel.org To: angel.eyez...@live.com yes correct brother On Nov 4, 2011, at 5:40 PM, angel eyez wrote: this means cellular companies like telenor, ufone, etc. Subject: Re: Understand Kannel From: sangpr...@gmail.com Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 17:24:41 +0700 CC: users@kannel.org To: angel.eyez...@live.com it is the wireless carrier a.k.a telco a.k.a operator On Nov 4, 2011, at 5:20 PM, angel eyez wrote: who provide the SMSC's implementation cellular companies or mobile phones like nokia, motorola etc ?

The flow usually like this: GSM-Modem <-> Bearerbox <-> SMSBox On Nov 4, 2011, at 4:37 PM, angel eyez wrote: Ok that means if i send any msg through kannel it will process by the bearerbox and smsbox then reach its destination.

And of course Kannel stands above of other SMS Gateway you mentioned, regarding its performance, speed, stability as per my experiences. What do you mean with 2 real phones?

The userguide said that bearerbox is the interface towards the phone it pass the messages between phones and other boxes and smsbox handles SMS functionality. But my question is that if i'm using 2 real phone then why i need besrerbox and smsbox? Subject: Re: Understand Kannel From: sangpr...@gmail.com Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 13:40:14 +0700 CC: users@kannel.org To: angel.eyez...@live.com Which other sms gateways do you mean? Generally Kannel does almost all things that an sms gateway can do. Yes you can use gsm modem to receive and send sms using Kannel. Go through the user guide to find why bearerbox and smsbox must be launched first On Nov 4, 2011, at 1:30 PM, angel eyez wrote: Hi I'm new to kannel and want to understand it. Can u tell me how the kannel is differ from other sms gateways. my another question is that i can buy the gsm modem and use it for sending and receiving messages what special feature kannel can provide. Also why bearerbox and smsbox is started before sending any message. Why both services are used. Any assistance will be really appreciated.
