4.12.3. SMS callback
SMS messages can be sent by connecting to the console port or by simple chat message (mobile phones can be checked and converted to SMS instead of
IM)
If you subscribe to an SMS provider (like clickatel) the server can receive SMS messages (usually on http port 8084) and initiate actions regarding the
content.
By sending an sms messages users can initiate callback, register a new A number for CLI authentication, initiate phone to phone call or add credit to your
account.
There are different formats for all functions (short/long - depending on the authentication method). The server can use A number based authentication for
the incoming sms messages. If the CLI is hided, or the A number is not specified then the users have to send their username and password or a pincode.
Instead of SMS callback we can recommend the phone to phone functionality. (In this mode the users don't have to work with the IVR. the 2 phone number
can be interconnected immediate)
The authentication of the requests is done based on “callingcardauth” global setting.
Pincode can represent the concatenated username and password (if allowed by callingcardauth)
The following formats are defined:
