Hello,

Thank you for the fast and useful replies you did.

I would like to say that I contacted BELL. They said to me that recently they change their servers. And this mean that pmcl.net is now with a new IP Address.

The problem on my side was that I was still querying pmcl.net, but our (stupid-but I need to live with it nothing I can do) policy was preventing our servers to query the new IP. So now that we changed that, our server can now query the new IP ADDRESS.

So no problem on your side guys, only that BELL have new servers for pmcl.net and it has a new IP Address.

Thank you again.
This problem is solved.

I do not provide any http:// in it.

But it is really interesting that you can telnet... because from my server I can't...

So this may obviously be the problem.

Hello all,

I was wondering if I am the only one having problem to send text message to Page using the SNPP protocol (http://notepager.net/snpp.htm) to BELL.
For 3 days it is not working ok.

This seems to pop up: http://pmcl.net/ but using SNPP with port 444 I can't communicate with it.

I opened a ticket with BELL on that today... but it will take time to have an answer..

So I was wondering if I am the only one.
Thanks

I am pretty sure my company won't want a cellular modem... but I am still interested to study this method.

Do you guys can provide me any information, website, company where I could buy a good cellular modem? I don't understand how this work exactly.

Or we buy this at our local store (Best Buy)?

Also my server is Virtual, not physic. I suppose this may be a problem... but I am not a "server pro".

Thank you

Hi all,

I think I finally have all the info for BELL SMPP and SNPP connection.

If you want to send text message to pages, you need to use the protocol SNPP. The server host is pmcl.net and the port is 444.
I asked BELL and we cannot use SNPP to send text message to cell phones. I also tested it and it doesn't work (if someone is able to, please say so!).

BELL doesn't offer any connection info of anything to use SMPP or WCTP. They also confirmed to me that WCTP cannot be used with them.

However, you can still send text messages to cell phones (SMS) using SMPP connection. You need to use an aggregator (aggregator = An organization providing neutral, non-competitive direct connectivity to Mobile Operators). So you will have a contract with a company and you will connect with SMPP to their gateway and they will then connect to BELL to send the text message to cell phones (SMS). Here is a list of recommended aggregator from BELL:

http://www.atlastelecommobile.com/
http://www.impactmobile.com/
http://www.vocomo.ca/connect.html
http://www.mythum.com/

It seems like that it can cost you about 1000$ to buy an account with them and about 250$ monthly for support and the actual service. This price is for a very low use of their service. But you need to call them and say what will be the load etc. and they will offer you a price.
Once this is done, they will give you the host/port/account/password and all what you need for SMPP connection.
Be careful also that BELL charge 0.15$ for each text message received on a cell phone if you don't have a special plan.

I still don't know for Rodgers canada and Telus canada, but it seems like the aggregator can do the same thing for rodgers and telus, as they do for BELL.

The other solution to send SMS to BELL cell phones is to send an email to 10digitnumber@txt.bell.ca (ex: 5147774444@txt.bell.ca and write a subject + body text tin your email). This works very well but it is NOT reliable and NOT secure. Some te ...

The problem OzCom is that BELL Canada is unable to provide me any usable SNPP or WCTP configuration to send message text to cell phones.
The only option I have is 10digitnumb@txt.bell.ca ....

So what can I do....

and TAP is not an option anymore for my company as we will remove our Modems Pool...

If I'm right, TAP protocol use a modem?
Our goal here is to remove any modem we have and only use Internet (or email)

Ok wow, this help me a lot!!!
Thank you.

And one another question. Is SNPP can be used to send message to cell phones also? reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Paging_Protocol I thought it was only for Pagers.

But as I read more on the net... it seems like we can use SNPP to send message to Cell phones? But only some companies support it.

Again, thank you for any help

Hi all,

I have been reading your forum, searching the net, calling Bell Mobility Canada, scratching my head, etc. and I am unable to find any valid configuration to send text message to Bell Canada cell phones. The only thing I found that can give me some information is this topic: http://www.notepage.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=356&highlight=bell

And it seems like that no one found the answer...

But how is it possible that we cannot find anything about this. Here is a website from Bell to send text message to cell phones: http://www.txt.bell.ca/bell/en/

Is there anyone here that is able to send text message to Bell Canada cell phones with NotePage? If yes, what protocol do you use? SNPP/SMPP/WCTP?

Do you guys are able to send to Telus and Rodgers also?

Thank you for any help about that
