Hi,
I'm in the process of setting up USSD -> web application integration
with a mobile telecoms provider (I have SMPP 3.4 based access to their
gateway, and they support USSD messaging).
While looking at options for setting this up, and kannel came up,
however looking through the mail archives it's not entirely clear that
USSD is supported out of the box with Kannel, potentially requiring
patches/recompilation.
I've got kannel 1.4.4-4 running on a debian 9 machine, and connect to
that via a python smpp client library, however I can't seem to figure
out how to simulate initiating a USSD session. Are there some command
line tools/clients that can do this or is more a case of write your
own? I've spotted fakesmsc but can't see how to generate ussd traffic
from that.
Ideally I'd like to configure kannel/smsbox/sms-service to call into an
HTTP api with a session id/phone number/subscriberid - so that I can go
back and forth between the user and my server to get answers to a few
questions.
Using SMPPSim's inject_mo I can simulate SMS and SMS responses already
to my HTTP based application server.
Thank you very much for any pointers in advance, I attach my current
config below.
