This is a little off-subject, but thought that because of the underlying SS7 it would qualify. :-D Wondering if anyone out there is purchasing SMS access from a "clearinghouse" such as Sybase or Syniverse/Verisign? Any recommendations? We're looking to develop a paging service for schools, governments, etc. We'd like it to be a Full Long-Code (10 Digit) from our existing number resources... may also have interest in Short-Code (5-6 Digit) SMS for commercial use. Another option would be leasing the services from say Sprint or Verizon as an MVNO -- but don't know if we're ready to go down the road of being a cellular reseller (yet). The Email Gateway is an option, albeit a messy one, as you have to keep track of who's network the end-user's cellphone is on, which could probably be done via an LNP DIP, but we'd rather interface directly to the SMS network. Two way would be pretty bad using this as well. -- Adam E Barratt Sales Engineer SOCKET (573) 817-0000 abarratt at socket.net 1-800-SOCKET-3 www.socket.net ********************************************************************** Privacy Notice: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

Hi Adam, I'm sure we can help. Generally you can use SMPP rather than SS7/Sigtran if it's just messaging. Drop me a line to discuss off list and either aql can do it or we can point you in the direction of a 'local' provider...

Look into Clickatell first -- they might be able to do it for less than what you would have architect.
