SMS Callback Trigger

I would like a feature similar to the web call feature that would trigger callback or call setup via an SMS message. Unless somebody knows a way to do that now....?

RE: SMS Callback Trigger

this is morew difficult than you think.

Your incoming did number has to recognize an sms and translate this into a callback.

For example dutch kpn allows you to sent an sms to a fixed number. KPN will than call the number and the sms is read to the one answering the call.

The did number I know don't know how to handle sms. If they do pbxes has to translate this into a callback. So this might be very difficult to achieve.

RE: SMS Callback Trigger

I don't think this would be a function of the DID number. I think a web script would recognize the sending telephone number of the SMS message and would then launch the same kind of call function that web call uses. Alternatively, a more complex SMS message could be used that uses the login info for the account. Either way, the calling would be launched by a script similar to the existing web call function.

What this would require would be an SMS gateway supported by i-p-tel.
