Ok, this is how i used it on my setup for my rails application, the "keyword" as shown below will enable kannel to execute commands and send it to HTTP server with different HTTP requests, the "phone" is the number of the person who sent the text and finally the "text" is the content of the text .For example, as shown below when an sms with a keyword for balance is sent to ur modem, it forward the request to a http server, then the http server with {rails,php,or any other framework} will send the query to your database.Remember this is just an example to help you understand the whole idea.You can also try opening a port like 3000, with nc -l -p 3000 and capturing the http requests that kannel sends.Please let me know if this helped you out
group = sms-service
keyword = balance
#keyword-regex = .*
catch-all = yes
max-messages = 100
get-url = "http://127.0.0.1:3000/balance?phone=%p&text=%a"
group = sms-service
keyword = airtime
keyword-regex = .*
catch-all = yes
max-messages = 100
get-url = "http://127.0.0.1:3000/airtime?phone=%p&text=%a"
