I know some SMS API, they are too expensive for the goal of my application. Is there a way to create an SMS server to alert users, then the user can send feedbacks, my application will easily reply based on some key codes. I heard about Rapid SMS. What comes to my mind:

  • A modem
  • SIM card
  • A daemon software (kannel maybe)
  • Web application with django

Any help will be gracefull!

Twilio supports sending SMS messages, and I believe it can also carry out certain actions on receiving an SMS. It has a Python API client so it should in principle be practical to integrate it with your application.

  • i used twilio, for sending about 3000 per day, it's too expensive, i made some researchs, do you think Kannel with python django will be good for the project ? that's the problem, i i'm looking for the way to do, better is to send sms with my national money, i'm not living in USA. – Lemayzeur Dec 01 '16 at 22:53
  • I think there's probably not going to be much better than Twilio. Any SMS gateway that is too cheap runs the risk of being abused by unscrupulous businesses, and 3000 a day is a fair few. – Matthew Daly Dec 01 '16 at 23:04
  • OK i understand, but do you know other which not like Twilio ? – Lemayzeur Dec 01 '16 at 23:10
  • There's plenty around but you're unlikely to find one cheap enough. Maybe you should consider whether you need to send so many and if it could be done using another method. – Matthew Daly Dec 01 '16 at 23:17
  • Some friends suggest to me to use Kannel or AT Command on linux. if i have a model with a SIM Card, i will be able to configure and send SMS. Rapid SMS (Django framework). In my country, the price of twilio is worth 2 times of that from here. i still use twilio, but i want to change. – Lemayzeur Dec 01 '16 at 23:39
  • Could you do what you need with push notifications? Many web browsers now support them so it might be a better fit? – Matthew Daly Dec 03 '16 at 09:15
