I made an SMS application that serves electronic eload (electronic loading of prepaid credits) to prepaid subscribers of two major networks in the Philippines (Smart/Globe). The application is UNiLOAD (one-load).
It can work with 16 Nokia phones connected on a single computer and can simultaneously receive, process and send SMS/prepaid credits/PINs to the sender.
Each sender can be authorized and are called RELOADERS. Each RELOADER has an account and can be limited up to what amount he is authorized to sell to the customers.
Each PIN on the database can also be provided what equivalent amount it can load to the customer.
At present, the system is a stand-alone and does not need an internet connection. Just pure PC-TO-CELLPHONE setup, but can be modified to accomodate world wide rerouting through smpp / smtp / httm / ip and other protocol to Inter Carriers Messengers.
The system can also be modified to handle SMS-to-email/email-to-SMS, SMS dating, anonymous SMS, remote DCT3/DCT4 unlocking using SMS.

@ Ice Dragon
Can you tell me more about your system?
There are some restictions though, but can be improved on and made universal.
Pls send more info to gsm@spectrumtelecoms.com
Thx

I seem interested in that anonymous SMS and SMS dating stuff.
Can you PM me with more info on this ?
I really am interested and ready to $ in.
Hoping to hear from you.

Since I haven't touched programming applications with connecting to SMPP, SMTP, etc. it will take me some time since it's new territory for me.

It's obvious that there exists a gateway between your chatters so that the gateway number is always the number to send/reply to when chatting, therefore the effect is you won't know you are chatting to on the other side of the gateway. Although the chat gateway operator is the only one who knows the numbers of the chatters, the chaters can assigned nicknames so that there is some way of identifying them with whom they are chatting to.
Send me details (thru email) of what you intend to do regarding your project. UNiLOAD is made in a very modular programming (product of an old computer school system?) so it's easy for me to add other features if needed.

Generally, the current system uses mainly SMS sending/receiving thru the connected GSM phone on a stand alone system. No GSM modems, no internet connections. Thus this does not need to be a VAS (Value Added Services) to be intergrated on the network which certainly would require a minimum deposit and large investment, but a third party solution which require minimal manpower and resources to put up.
I currently put a restriction for use only in the Philiipines and takes note of the country code and the SMSC numbers to use. I think the restriction you are talking is that there will be a "bottleneck" of transactions duing peak times. This is solved by the number of GSM phones connected to the single computer. Each COORDINATOR or the topmost line is assigned at least 1 GSM phone as their gateway, there are 16 GSM phones connected so there might be 8 to 16 COORDINATORS on a single computer. But if you use a Pentium 4 with Hyper threading technology, you can use a 32 to 64 multi-port gadget and thus connect 32 to 64 phones on a single P4-HT. Set up a LAN of 3 computers and thus triple your processing power.
I don't quite get what you mean by the details you want, so I assume both the physical hardware setup and the software itself.
In summary, it needs at least a Celeron 400Mhz computer running on 4.3GB harddisk with 128MB RAM, a paperwhite monitor, a multi-port adapter on USB port or PCI bus (number of ports depends how big your operation is. A 4-port adaptor will do), number of phones depends on how many serials ports you will be having on the computer.
Software side: Computer runs at least on Windows 98SE (Windows XP will do). UNiLOAD is programmed in Delphi 6 and there are lots and lots of components to integrate on a Delphi program. UNiLOAD is in a multi-threaded programming so that it can work simultaneously with 16 phones at one time, especially with Pentium 4 with Hyper Threading technology.
All it is is just one exe file (2MB in size), and 4 database files:CONFIG, SERVICES, PHONES, MESSAGES.
Since it is made in Delphi, many have commented that it can also be translated to work on Linux using Kylix. I haven't tried that yet. I'm not familiar working in Linux.
Please Icedraagon,
Can you modify your application to allow me to route sms to internationa gateway operator ??
This means receive sms by gsm modem and ressend receive sms to internation gateway via Internet protocol ?
This is urgent. Dating can be done later

As I understand it:
1. A customer sends thru your service or gateway.
2. SMS is received and processed on your PC.
3. SMS is reconstructed and sent internationally via an international gateway.
Questions:
1. Are you using a GSM modem or a GSM phone?
2. PM me what international gateway you are describing. Are you refering to a Bulk SMS Gateway provider like ClickATell? http://support.clickatell.com/index.php
As you already know, my system is currently configured to run as a stand-alone with no internet connection.
If there will be a connection via the internet using the SMPP (Short Message Peer to Peer) and SMTP (what we commonly call as email), this could be done and I would probably need at least a couple of weeks to revise my program.
The important question is: what international gateway you will be using. You see, each gateway have their own APIs (Application Program Interface), so what I program for other gateway may not be applicable to the gateway you will be using.
And during the development stage, I need to connect to that gateway using your account if indeed the program is communicating to the gateway as it should.
