Do you know any tool that can be used for visually inspecting SMPP packets? A tool that accepts a byte array or string as input and lets us check the fields quickly.
I searched alot but all of the tools were actually code libraries instead of being a tool.
Wireshark has the capability to recognize SMPP packets when given a tcpdump.
Here's a commercial product that can inspect SMPP traffic and apply actions when a byte/string pattern is matched: http://tritux.com/product/NetCop
I'm involved in the tech team behind this product, some of its basic usage is to inspect SMPP traffic to detect deliver_sm PDUs and check for per-subscriber throughput, if one subscriber is sending deliver_sm PDUs more than (let's say) 6 per second than it is more likely to be a malicious mobile terminal (maybe a simbox) flooding the SMSC with MO traffic, NetCop is able to take actions like:
Sending a notification to the user
Blocking (barring) SMS-MO traffic on user (through the telco's intelligent network integration)

I'm trying to test bitcoin and I would like to win 1 bitcoins or even 0.00001 just to see how is it to receive and send money.
I visited many faucets, I filled surveys, I watched ads but I never get my payment in bitcoins !
Do you know a website which really sends a micro sum of bitcoins just for me to test ?
Windows 7 / Firefox 50.0
If you just want to see how Bitcoin works use the TestNet, here you got explanations and some real faucets links.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Testnet
Since mainnet bitcoins are rather expensive, testing there is definitely not desirable. Bitcoin provides you with two other options to develop software against: Regtest mode and the Testnet network. Testnet is a distributed network that operates exactly like mainnet, with some more advanced features being tested. The coins on testnet are not worth anything on purpose so that software can be tested there with realistic conditions. Since testnet coins aren't worth anything there are faucets that will give you some coins.
The other option is regtest mode. This is sometimes called testnet in a box and allows you to spin up an isolated network on your own machine. This network is fully under your control, and you can even generate blocks as quickly as you want. Many projects use regtest mode to run automated integration test suites against their software.

My current project requires us to receive text messages online. It's hard to wade through the search results as many of the are just websites with about 10 numbers for everyone to use.
I am looking for services along the lines of what is being offered at http://www.tropo.com
You can send and receive text messages online on your own private generated phone number within the US or Canada.
Preferably free, just need a few more before I make any decisions
Thanks!
Disclaimer, I do developer evangelism part time at Nexmo.
Here are a few paid SMS APIs:
Nexmo
Twilio
Tropo
You may be able to hack something together that works for free, but you risk that solution being disabled by whatever provider you use (for example, some people send SMS via Google Voice, but I wouldn't recommend relying on that).
Since you're receiving SMS, Nexmo would be a good solution when it comes to price. You only pay for the virtual number (roughly $1 a month), and all incoming messages are free.
Try www.twilio.com they have a good API and it is free while testing.

I have developed apps for 3 years and am now looking to build an app that uses TFL (transport for london) api calls. I was reading their guidelines and read the following:
"Distribution
Developers consuming TfL data and providing public services built on it are expected
to provide the hosting capacity necessary to serve those public consumers. You
should take our data and proxy it, you shouldn’t allow all your clients to hit our service
driectly. This is intended to reduce TfL’s cost liability for hosting and content delivery."
While I have done a lot of app development, I have never hosted my own proxy receiving responses from an api. I have searched the internet for tutorials on this (ideally specific to TFL, but general ones would be awesome too), but can't find any that help.
Does anyone know of any?
Spoke to TFL about the Bus Times and it turns out you don't need to run this data via a database and can instead have users making direct calls to the API via your iPhone app. Great news :-)

For a school project our client wants us to create a ZigBee network either using the Texas instruments cc2531 or a XBee. We've got a CC2531 with some sensors from Cleode. In their program, named cleobee, everything works fine. The connection is automatically made, and we don't have to do anything else than turn on the sensors for the connection to be made.
Now we want to use the CC2531 to connect with the sensors without using the Cleode program. Is there a simple way to set up a network? Is there an API we can use? We've found zTool in which we can monitor the usage of the cc2531, but we don't really know what else we can do with it.
Also, we would like to connect an Olimex mod-zigbee-pir sensor with it. Can we do this in the same manner as with the other sensors?
Is there any software available that let's us do this?
If you donot want to use the Cleode program than you can implement the same thing yourself by making changes in the API provided by TI.
Ti has provided all the APIs and you can refer it in the Documents that comes along with Z-stack.
Also sample and Generic programs for zigbee networks are provided which you can modify it according to your requirement.

Exccuse me,
may I ask is there any API for sending SMS mesaages to mobile phone through programming?
If there is any, may I ask if there is any recommended one which is morer reliable and have more reasonable prices?
Using SMPP is overkill unless you are planning to send smses at the speed of 50 a second or more.
For incidental sending of SMSes you can use HTTP calls to a SMS gateway. The Call will be similar to:
http://www.somesmsgateway.com/api.php?to=31612345678&msg=helloworld&username=yourusername&password=yourpassword
an example of such a gateway is clickatell
Take look at Smpp OpenSource
SUMMARY:
SMPP stands for Short Message Peer to
Peer. It is a communication protocol
designed for transfer of short
messages between short message centre
and SMS application.
Zeep Mobile or use an Aggregator
There are tons of SMS providers. You should take a look at PW,
Nexmo, Twilio, Hoiio, Zeepmobile, etc comes to mind.
