My problem is that Provider blocked all outgoing traffic. Can someone write step by step how to change delay between sending sms, please? For example 1 sms per 25 seconds. What location are files to change?

Anthon, can you make option in PlaySMS to choose deley between all sending sms? For example: We have 100 subscribers and we want to send sms to all from 10:00-15:00. This option will be very helpfull for many people. I will make donation for you if it work fine of course.

It’s impossible for anyone to help you if you do not say Gateway: Gammu, Kannel, SMPP? With regard to the issue of donation to the project without waiting for you to solve your problem, that is the beauty of OpenSource projects.

I use Gammu. I’ve just made a few tests. I’ve copied all contacts from PlaySMS to Android device and:

  1. I sent 100 SMS’s (on Android). Provider blocked all outgoing traffic.
  2. I sent 100 SMS’s (on Android) with delay of 60 second - provider blocked all outgoing traffic.
  3. I sent 100 different SMS’s (on Android) with delay of 60 second - provider blocked all outgoing traffic.
  4. I changed Provider to Orange and I sent 100 identical SMS’s (on Android) with delay of 60 second - everything works.

It’s depend of Provider.

I am using smstools, is there a method to throttle the outgoing rate?

Some carriers in my country also limit the number of SMS a simcard sends per day.

On playSMS config file:

// limit the number of queue processed by sendsmsd in one time
$core_config[‘sendsmsd_queue’] = 1;

// limit the number of chunk per queue
$core_config[‘sendsmsd_chunk’] = 1;

// chunk size
$core_config[‘sendsms_chunk_size’] to 1 or 2, i.e. 1 or 2 sms sent each time.

above configuration will cause playSMS send one message a time.

What playsms version do you have?

On newer versions, playsmsd.conf has a parameter that sets sleep time between playsmd executions. Take a look.
