By safaricom filtering international bulk sms, its a clear indication of how they are uncomfortable with a healthy competition. they should lower the bulk sms prices so that they get customers. For those who use routesms there is a way around the filter. On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 10:41 AM, joe mwirigi <joemwirigi@gmail.com> wrote:
Its not a question of scum, its a thing-to-do with profits. Safricom's bulk SMSes retail at above KES 2.00 while 'other providers' can be as cheap as 90 cents. So if safaricom cant get this business, they flex their muscle since most are terminated at/on/thro their SMSC. I think its more of a business angle than security or any other angle one may look at it.

Interesting question. Is your SMS provider only bound to the Safaricom SMS-C? The reason I ask is : If not, it will be much simpler if the ported numbers simply received the messages from the SMPP accounts bound onto their respective 'new' providers' SMS-Cs.
