Hello, just wonder and maybe someone already have some answer.

Idea is to have some nice web page, which may be used for receiving and making calls and receive and send sms. For calls, as i understand, this project will perfectly fit, as it looks like just web SIP client, which should work with any SIP server. But what about SMS?

and maybe someone already someone seen it?

A lot of the tools you require are already built in. Sending SMS has been on the todo for a while, so if you are interested, then I could look at this now. Most of what you need is already there... it would just be to adapt the current text message system for SMS. Somethings would have to change.

  1. It probably cannot support emojis
  2. SMS Messages would be limited to be sent to Mobile Number (not extensions), so it would activate when a mobile or contact number is available in the buddy.
  3. Character Limitations would need to be applied per service provider.
  4. Asterisk would send the messages that came over the message context - so it cant be both text messages and SMS messages, unless the text messages are done with XMPP.
  5. You would have to configure your own dial-plan. The app can get the message to you, from there is up to you.
  6. I would imagine there is a cost per message system... please be careful about exposing your box to the web!
