Hi, I've running a few smsc connections on the same computer, is there a way to specify which smsc connection to use when sending out sms? Thanks, Alan | |||

Hi Alan, There are two ways to route messages to a particular SMSC. 1.) You can define recipient address masks in the Routing Properties for the SMSC to specify that particular recipient addresses that match a particular mask be routed via a particular SMSC. 2.) You can specify a "sender address" for the SMSC (if it is a GSM modem, the "phone number" field is used). When you submit a message, include a "Sender" parameter in your HTTP request, and if the sender matches a particular SMSC, then it will only be routed through that particular SMSC connection. (You can have multiple SMSCs defined with the same "Sender Address", and the outbound message could be routed via any with that particular "Sender Address".) A lot of people seem to use this second approach for premium SMS. When they want to send a message out through an SMSC that supports premium rate SMS, they submit the message with a "Sender" address for the appropriate SMSC. -bn | |||
