What is a good open source alternative to Kannel for SMS gateway? [closed]

Tags:

I need to setup an open source SMS gateway to send messages using my mobile phone via USB cable. I tried Kannel but its lack of GUI frustrated the user who is intended to admin it (not an advanced user).

If you want to use local GSM modem (or just mobile phone) you can use the following server side alternatives:

  • http://wammu.eu/gammu/ - Gammu (fork of Gnokii)
  • http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/ - SMS Server Tools
  • https://metacpan.org/pod/GSM::SMS - GSM::SMS (includes messaging daemon)

For GUI you can use the following software:

  • http://playsms.org/ - PlaySMS (works with Kannel, Gammu)
  • http://kalkun.sourceforge.net/ - Kalkun (works with Gammu)
  • http://wammu.eu/wammu/ - Wammu (GUI to Gammu SMSD)

Note: Kannel is excellent platform for large scale SMS platforms but it requires certain level of understanding underlying technologies and integration layer.
