using kannel for sms/mms to and from computer to cell phone

[Ron T]

Question. I'm trying to send and receive sms and mms messages to and from
my computer by going through my android phone.
The phone would not be tethered to my computer. I know there are a few
apps out there like mighty text that will allow a person to do this but I
would like to create my own. I've read a little about smpp and smsc but am
not sure if I need a server such as kannel if I'm only going to be sending
and receiving from my own pc though my cell phone? I would also like to
have my phone number be used on the send of sms/mms so the receiver will
recognize who it is coming from. Thanks

You can use kannel to send/receive SMS with your phone but first you have to make your phone work as a modem on a Linux box, then configure kannel to use that device (AT SMSC section).
To send MMS, you will need something else in addition to kannel. Mbuni could be used for that, but I see no activity about this project very long time, so you might have a problem compiling it on a modern Linux distribution.
The way kannel works with mbuni: when mms is to be received, your device will receive MMS formatted WAP push SMS having a URL where to grab the MMS from. This SMS is passed to mbuni and mbuni fetches the content. Then it’s up to you to process that.

It’s a long way and it will take plenty of time. If you have it, it’s a challenge worth, you will deep learn the undelying technologies.

Thanks for the help Davor. Mighty Text uses the users cell phone to send
and receive messages as far as I understand it. Are they also making their
phone work as a modem on a linux box? Basically the user can't send and
receive messages without their cell phone on. The user installs the app on
their phone and a web browser plugin on the their computer. How could I
duplicate that setup? Are they using something like Kannel or a different
setup? Thanks!

Hi,

I’m not aware of Mighty text. At first glance it looks to me as a product for different purpose. Kannel is mainly used as a gateway tied to an SMSC on one side and the content provider on the other for processing large volumes of SMS. Yes, modem usage is possible for personal SMS based services, but you have custom build your complete solution. On the other hand, Migthy text looks like an of the shelf, elaborate closed source product
