I have a customer who wants to have the ability to initiate a callback from A2Billing from an SMS message. Has anyone done this? Has anyone else thought of this?

Basically what the client wants is the ability to have a client send an SMS message to the A2Billing server with the number that he wants called back & his account.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

using the SOAP - XML should be able to do this, I will look into this as well when i have more time...

Thanks. I am not familiar with SOAP. I will look into it as well. It struck me as an interesting concept.

We have successfully configured our asterisk box in a way that we send SMS to it and depending on the content of the SMS, the box take action. It's incredible. The possibilities in the choices of actions are endless:

- open a URL (why not SOAP)
- execute a command or a program accessible from the Linux CLI
- send back a custom text message
- etc.

We have tried many of those possibilities for fun and we know how brilliant the future is going to be. lol

We did it with Kannel, a totally open source SMS Gateway, and some help from someone that I have never really met.

Our future plans will be to sit down and make the A2Blling's SOAP interface work properly, and to initiate calls with Kannel. Unfortunately, right now, we have a few urging priorities that have to be treated before that.
