Kannel is an opensource WAP and SMS gateway for two-way SMS and WAP message sending.

Kannel is an opensource WAP and SMS gateway for sending and receiving messages. It can be used to simplify SMS handling by using its HTTP API while Kannel handles SMPP and other protocols used by SMS centers and mobile operators. It also allows using mobile devices connected to a server for messaging purposes.

There are two opensource extensions available for Kannel:

  • opensmppbox that allows accepting incoming SMPP connections;
  • sqlbox that allows loading message data into a SQL database instead of passing it via HTTP requests.

Kannel is available at http://www.kannel.org/
