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).

Answer 1

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.

Mobicents SMSC Gateway is another open source option with broad commercial deployment. It complements a suite of open source telco middleware Mobicents projects such as USSD Gateway, SS7 stack, Diameter charging server, SIP Servlets and so on.

The Mobicents SMSC Gateway is specifically designed to integrate with operator core networks over SS7 E1/T1 or SIGTRAN in addition to SMPP connectivity over IP.
