sms zimlet troubleshooting

[switchnetworks]

Morning.

Hmmm. I would appreciate a little help if someone can point me in the right direction. I followed the general instructions to deploy the sms zimlet as per:
http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=SMS_Zimlet - as I am clearly missing something.

Steps to deply sms zimlet:

$su - zimbra
$cd zimlets-extras/
$zmzimletctl deploy com_zimbra_sms.zip
$zmzimletctl getConfigTemplate com_zimbra_sms.zip > cfg.tmp
$vi cfg.tmp
Changed the settings to match my ipipi.com account. wq!
$zmzimletctl configure cfg.tmp
$tomcat restart

I should mention that my cfg.tmp looks as follows:

<zimletConfig name="com_zimbra_sms" version="1.0">
<global>
<property name="smsusername">MyUserName</property>
<property name="smspassword">MyPassWord</property>
<property name="smsfrom">SN</property>
</global>
</zimletConfig>

Where MyUserName, MyPassWord and SN are my actual detals as per ipipi.com. I have tested ipipi.com via the web interface and do not have any issues with the service.

Whenever I send a message via the sms zimlet I get: Error could not SMS +6143xxxxxxx - this is after I fudged the sms.jsp to look as follows due to the code inserting a +1 (USA) country code bit. I basically just inserted '6' - for the time being (+61 being the country code for australia) - to test the service:

if (!phone_num.startsWith("+61")) {
if (phone_num.startsWith("6")) {
phone_num = "+" + phone_num;
} else {
phone_num = "+61" + phone_num;
}
}

Even with this alteration I am unable to sms and still get the "Error: Unable to SMS +6143xxxxxxx" error message. I've checked over a few things but don't seem to be able to find a place to where the freaking zimlet is logging its errors. It is not logging to zimbra.log nor anywhere else I could find.

Only thing I have not done as yet is to dump out the ldap schemer, I assume that the sms part within the default schemer was simply overwritten rather then added to everytime I have re-deployed the sms zimlet?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Rgs,

Dan

Release 4.0 on a Fedora Core 5 box.

Try increasing the zimlet version if you changed it. We ignore changes if the version is the same.

Increased the version. Re-checked settings. Disabled. Undeployed. Redeployed.
Still not getting it to work. Here is a packet dump of the proceedings. All is ok until I get to the RCPT TO: bit and it fails.

Does anyone have this zimlet working yet - I have tried all the permmutations and it still won't do it

[mmorse]

I had it working fine, but the sms zimlet relies on having an account at sms.ipipi.com-and it seems they've gotten rid of their unlimited free sending; then for a bit they used to have 50/month free...

Now, you only get '3.00 SMS Credits' for free. Then 15c/message - I really think we should explore other options...because by the time you make sure that it doesnt get hit by any spam filters/protocol checks & that the zimlet works properly, you've already used up your 3 tries, and that's certainly not enough to serve an organization.

Yes the idea would be to buy in chunks of '1501' for your entire organization (weird # I know - but apparently you purchase in chunks of it's 50, 100, 400, 1501)
But at 10c that's still $150. Then keeping track of who sent what if you had to tell them to slow down...doesn't seem productive.

Hi Mike

I set up the ipipi account yesterday and have changed the params in the files to reflect that with user name and pw etc but it just keeps saying it can't send

R

[rhf1]

Seems that no one knows (or cares?) about this

Does anyone have it working at all please who can help?

[jholder]

Can you provide more info? "It doesn't work" isn't helpful.

[rhf1]

Well here's what I did:

1) Signed up for ipipi.com
2) Paid and got credits
3) Tested Ipipi from their own site with a message to my mobile phone (in France)
4) Changed the settings in the zimlet to contain my username and password for ipipi
5) I reloaded everything on our zimbra NE server
6) Right clicked the zimlet and put in my +33 xxxx number and a message
7) Zimlet said "sms sent" with the green message thing etc
8) Message never ever arrives

Is there a log I can look at somewhere maybe that might give a clue?

Thanks

can i change and make sms zimlet use someother sms gateway ?
