We are proud to present Java API for Kannel. You can use the API to :

  1. Send SMS to a single recipient
  2. Send SMS to multiple recipients (bulk SMS)
  3. Send SMS with priority
  4. Send WAP Push message to a single recipient
  5. Configure send rate (SMS/Second)

Below is an example use of the API

public static void main(String[] args) {

 SMSManager smsManager = SMSManager.getInstance();

 // We can change the prefetch size of the background worker thread
 smsManager.setSmsMessagesPrefetchSize(30);

 // We can change the send SMS rate
 smsManager.setSmsMessagesSendRate(65);

 try {

  // Send SMS to a single destination
  smsManager.sendSMS("localhost", "13013", "foo", "bar", "sender_mobile_number", "receiver_mobile_number", "the_message");

  // Send SMS to a single destination with a specific priority and
  // send rate
  smsManager.sendSMS("localhost", "13013", "foo", "bar", "sender_mobile_number", "receiver_mobile_number", "the_message", SMSManager.MESSAGE_PRIORITY_3);

  // Send SMS to multiple recipients
  List<string> recipientsGroupA = new ArrayList<string>();

  recipientsGroupA.add("receiver_mobile_number_1");
  recipientsGroupA.add("receiver_mobile_number_2");
  recipientsGroupA.add("receiver_mobile_number_3");
  recipientsGroupA.add("receiver_mobile_number_4");
  recipientsGroupA.add("receiver_mobile_number_5");

  smsManager.sendSMS("localhost", "13013", "foo", "bar", "sender_mobile_number", recipientsGroupA, "the_message");

  // Send SMS to multiple recipients with a specific priority and
  // send rate
  List<string> recipientsGroupB = new ArrayList<string>();

  recipientsGroupB.add("receiver_mobile_number_1");
  recipientsGroupB.add("receiver_mobile_number_2");
  recipientsGroupB.add("receiver_mobile_number_3");
  recipientsGroupB.add("receiver_mobile_number_4");
  recipientsGroupB.add("receiver_mobile_number_5");

  smsManager.sendBulkSMS("localhost", "13013", "foo", "bar", "sender_mobile_number", recipientsGroupB, "the_message", SMSManager.MESSAGE_PRIORITY_7);

  // Send a WAP Push request to a single mobile recipient
  smsManager.sendWAPPush("localhost", "8080", "receiver_mobile_number", SMSManager.WAP_PUSH_RECEIVER_TYPE_MOBILE, "the_message", "http://localhost", 3);

 } catch (Exception ex) {
   ex.printStackTrace();
 }

 // Stops the background worker
 // smsManager.stopSMSManagerWorker()

}

The API is hosted on Sourceforge. You can download it from here

Any comments are most welcome!

Have Fun!

Hello biruk,

Unfortunately the current version of our Kannel API supports only “send” functionality.
