Sending SMS Via Jabber

The title more than ever describes exactly what will be discussed in the post :)

UPD. Issue price of 8 Singapore cents per SMS message.
UPD. The price of the issue will fall !

What is it and How to Start?

1. This service allows you to send SMS from your Google Talk IM client , Gmail client or other Jabber clients, for example Gajim .
2. It is assumed that you already have a Google Talk ID (for example, test gmail .com) or another Jabber ID (for example, inf@letinet.ru).
3. Now, register an account on this site using your google name (test gmail. Com - including gmail. Com ) or another jabber name as your username , but use a different password . You will receive a free 0.3 cent per account to check the system.
4. Add a new contact to the roster to which sms will be sent. (see example below).
5. For example, if your friend’s number is +12345678900, then you should add 12345678900@sms.messagingbay.com as a new contact. Note: Do not use the '0' or '+' prefix for a cell phone number .
6. Send a message to this new contact, and he will see it as a normal SMS.
7. When the SMS is sent, you will receive a notification about the status of the account. And if the SMS will reach the subscriber, then you will see a delivery report.
8. If you want your mobile number to be displayed to the recipient, please send your phone number and username to support@messagingbay.com and we will be able to give you this opportunity.
9. If you are a advanced user, you will find that “Service Discovery” is supported. Do service discovery on messagingbay.com and see what is there. (if you are an advanced user, you still understand the previous sentence).
10. Technical support email - support@messagingbay.com.

What is good:

• Sends sms by xmpp :) It can be useful for industrial use in any web-webs.

• Mailing to all (?) Countries of the world. At least where there is already a mobile connection.

• Test SMS came in the national language (Russian).

Not very good:

• SMS cost = 8 Singapore cents. What in terms of wood = 1.4 rubles. Cheaper than Opsos, but more expensive than in web gates.

Very bad:

• Payment only through PayPal. But if we have already decided to use it on an industrial scale, then this will not be a problem.
