Kannel vs Jasmin SMS

Question

I've encountered a choice I have to make.

Please advise what is the best choice for SMS platform between Kannel and Jasmin SMS. Who knows any pros and cons?

Answer 1

As a python programmer I feel more comfortable with Jasmin. It works very well, and the main advantage to me is that I can customize anything I need.

My experience with Jasmin is great, and I currently use it to connect to 4 SMSC and load balance between them. I have sent millions of messages without any performance problems at all.

My experience tells me that every SMSC has specific needs, and with Jasmin I can go into the code and change what I need.

This code is well written !

Answer 2

Both systems are very versatile and can be configured to perform complex tasks.

2 main difference that i find :

1. SMPP: Kannel implements only smpp client functionality and cannot act as SMPP server , while JasminSMS implements both.

2. MODEM: Modem interaction is very flexible using Kannel. I think its not available in the JasminSMS, but can be added using a plugin (https://github.com/jookies/jasmin/issues/697)
