I am using Tigase server for my application.I want to Integrate my server(Tigase) with SMS gateway. Is there any support available in Tigase.
Thanks
There is no SMS gateway out of the box, but it is very easy to implement one. Just create a Tigase component which intercepts messages and forwards them as SMS. Some of our customers have implemented SMS, iPhone, Android, BB gateways already.

Please help me and suggest me some sms gateways that provide two way sms in Nigeria.
I have created a web application. I need to send and receive sms through this application and maintain a log about the same in my db.
Thanks
You can use Twilio as SMS Gateway.
URL: https://www.twilio.com/sms, https://www.twilio.com/sms/pricing/ng
I use the twilio api to send/receive sms messages and http requests, given a free account, a paid twilio number, and paying something like 0.075 cents per message.
I'm wondering: what kind of technology is twilio built on?
At minimum I'm curious:
1. How are they registering their phone numbers?
2. How do they convert between the sms protocol and the http protocol
3. Where can I read more about this?
Thanks 😄
Twilio uses Amazon Web Services to host telephony infrastructure and provide connectivity between HTTP and the public switched telephone network (PSTN) through its APIs.

We wanted to use GCM /APN for commercial application to send push notification, Please point o the links to the terms&Conditions page so that we are in compliance while using these service on our prod servers.
Does bluemix (https://console.ng.bluemix.net/) have any incoming mail system for their apps which is similar to Google App Engine's Receiving Mail system (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/mail/receivingmail).
Thanks.
PS: If possible, please share some links so I can begin exploring!!
as already suggested on the previous response Bluemix provide a outgoing email service using SendGrid
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/sendgrid/
For incoming email service, there is no service provided on Bluemix, but there isn't any limitation in integrating your application on Bluemix with an external email service, using its own POP/IMAP interface
How to integrate your app with an external email service is depending from the language/technology you wish to use, for example with PHP you could use its IMAP extension
http://php.net/manual/en/intro.imap.php
to read from an external service using IMAP or POP3
Moreover using an external email service may allow you to use that service for sending email through SMTP, instead of using SendGrid: for example using PHP runtime you could use
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
to integrate with an external SMTP service (usually available with an email account as well as the POP3/IMAP one)
I want to configure sms gateway. my scenario is as:
We have a list of enrolled students. Each one is assigned a tutor. They have to get information about their tutor such as tutor name and contact etc.
I want that they send a formatted sms to the server and server provides the requested information to them via sms.
Please tell me what things, I will need?
Infrastructure?
any demo server available to test my application?
I will be implementing it in PHP
Thanks
Have you seen Twilio's REST API for SMS already? https://www.twilio.com/sms/api. That will save you lots of time configuring own GSM modem firmware and maintaining own SMS transactions. With 3rd party SMS service provider you can just focus on your client app such as sending back tutor's profile to the provider and the provider will carry your message push it back to the student's mobile number.
Of course the old way is that everything (data and GSM software) sits within our own network. I used to have HTC's GSM model like 7 years ago) with my J2ME apps for Nokia, HTC and Motorola smartphones. But nowadays, you have lots or cheaper and better options. Even Android phones can be used as bare bones GSM modem already :D
Enjoy!
Before you go on implementing something by yourself, I suggest that you check services that already do it well. Maybe you can just use them? One such easy-to-use service is Twilio.
