Question

SMS Gateway losing Connection

Hi

I have a coldfusion 8 server connecting to an SMS Provider and the binding works great, sending messages works most of the time but the bind to the server drops randomly and regularly.

It seems like i can push messages through then it will hang and drop the bind then re-establish the bind and work again.

I have done a bunch of google searches for a similar problem with no success. Has anyone seen this same issue and if so how did you overcome it? Any input/suggestions/whatever would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I also had a similar problem with my coldfusion 8 several years ago. The only solution I could find was to switch to Ozeki NG SMS Gateway, because it turned out to be the only reliable gateway on the market that also provides the capacity I need.

I hope I could help.

Think about it: How many hours a day do you have your cell phone or BlackBerry with you, ready to receive incoming messages, as opposed to how long you spend in front of your laptop or PC? Big difference. So, smart Internet marketers are finding ways to target mobile network traffic using SMS servers that create their messages and receiving lists, along with gateway software that delivers to major cell phone networks in the United States and abroad. Utilizing SMS server/Gateway software is the key.

Do you have another SMS provider you can test through for the sake of completeness? If you get the same error then it's probably a config issue on your end; if not then you know the current provider is snowballing you.

Generally speaking I agree with Paul though - I've seen CF crush an SMS provider before (one of those things that is amusing after the fact but notsomuch during) so I'd tend to blame the other guy first. But maybe I'm just cynical. :-)

OK - i lowered the ping interval to 10 seconds and that seems to keep the connection. Seems I was making the problem tougher than it needed to be.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

i'd first look to your SMS provider. cf's SMS gateway is pretty capable (we've
crushed an SMS provider w/cf's throughput).

They suggested we lower our ping time to 22 seconds which I did. I am getting the following errors pretty regularly. I suspect maybe it is a config value in my CFG file but i'm not sure. Thoughts?

Can you hook me up with however you have your CFG file setup so i can compare? I am using mostly the same values that came with the example one with a couple tweaks (the ping seconds for example).

Thanks!
