11.2. The 2nd Way:
Using a Computer to Receive SMS Messages through a Connection to the
SMSC or SMS Gateway of a Wireless Carrier
Like
sending SMS messages, receiving SMS messages through a mobile phone
or GSM/GPRS modem has a major limitation, that is the SMS
transmission rate is too low. If you need a high SMS transmission
rate, one way is to obtain a direct connection to the SMS center
(SMSC) or SMS gateway of a wireless carrier. The connection may be
made through the Internet, X.25 or dial-up.
To
receive SMS messages through a direct connection to the SMSC or SMS
gateway of a wireless carrier, usually you need to contact the
wireless carrier staff to discuss the details. A wireless carrier may
only provide such service to those who have huge SMS traffic and the
total fee can be very high. (However, if you divide the total fee by
the number of SMS messages that is allowed to receive through the
SMSC or SMS gateway, you may find that the fee per incoming SMS
message is very low.) The service may involve a one-time setup fee, a
monthly subscription fee and/or a per-message fee. To know the exact
cost of the service, protocols supported, network coverage and other
information, usually you have to contact the wireless carrier staff.
