What it takes to host a sms server. If you plan to host a sms server, what do you need, hardware,softwares etc.

Another question, how much can this smsbiz earn you? 0.10 cent per msg?

I have seen a website - esendex - i think that offers this service. It costs 8p ish to allow you to send texts (thats how you make the money) but you can charge however much money you like for the person to receive them. If that makes sense.

to host your own server you need a dedicated server. somthing high spec eg

dual core 2.8
2gb ram
1000gb bandwidth
a control panel
good uptime

you will also need to purchase a sms gateway and the software for it.
check out:

http://www.clickatell.com/

sms gatways cost alot off money. as they usually require you to prepay a bulk amount off text messages up front.

note that for sms server case, u will need support for smpp etc. there will be special port requirement. depend on ur provider to where u connect to.

sms profit is varies, depend on what type of service you offering. if is MT only, then u probably profiting 2-4 cents only. if you selling mobile content, then its higher profit.

Any server will do. Connecitng over SMPP will not require any special hardware, just make sure that no firewall blocks SMPP port. Rates vary dependnig on the operator. You may take alook @ nowsms and activexperts for server software.

Well, if you're interested in running this as a service in the UK, I could certainly show you how to run this with a profit margin of 50p per message.

You don't need any special dedicated hardware, or anything like that. Also, I'm not a fan of esendex, you'll be waiting months before they accept you, they're really beaurocratic.

I am currently with clickatell. I can say it's simple to use but a little hard to setup. They have a cool feature, you email to sms@..clickatell.com and the server automatically sends the sms to the receiver. If you want to send bulk SMS messages I advice you to contact them about their rates.
