[Freeswitch-users] MC8704 on mod-gsmopen

[Francis]

I was afraid of that. I looked at the Yeastar, but it doesn't seem to 
have SMS forwarding available. The Goip-1 I have can do it, but will 
soon be obsolete when 2G is turned off. Looking at the supported dongles 
list, I might be better off to get two that cover at least half the 
bands here, then I can swap if I change carriers.
