I’m using Kannel as an SMS gateway to send and receive SMS messages. I have downloaded, installed, and configured Kannel according to the document guided. I can send an SMS by typing http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=tester&password=foobar&from=“from number”&to=“to number”&text=Testing in a browser. However, when I send an SMS from a phone to the gateway, I got the error ERROR: request failed.
I’m using Kannel 1.4.3 installed on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I use a wavecom modem whose model is WAVECOM FASTRACK type DUAL BRANCH MODEM connected to kannel via serial port.
Should you need further information, please let me know.
I’m really thankful for your help.
