Re: Sending SMS faster

[Leos Tovarek, Ph.D.]

Hi Niels,


I am afraid that gnokii is not a tool developed for your kind of application
with sending thousands SMS in a short time. I believe you should rather
contact your operator and agree using their SMS gateway.

I have used gnokii for alerts about operation problems in ISP technology
for a long time. It has worked fine but there are only a few messages 
needed to be sent.

The only problem is that SMS delivering has a delay (hours) sometimes.

I hope that my experience can be usefull for you.

Best regards,


Leos.
