Hi All,
I'm thinking of setting up my own sms gateway using my own linux server and regular old nokia phone, along the lines of what is described here

I was wondering if anyone out there has been down this road before, and in particular knows about approximately how many messages could be sent/received per minute? In the application I have in mind (an instantaneous online survey from an audience of hundreds) I would need to be receiving hundreds of sms texts in around a minute. I was wondering if that was pushing it in terms of the capabilities of an old phone.

thanks

Cellphone have limited memory for "houndreds" of sms. Why not use 2 phones.
Your operator probably won't be happy if network gets overloaded, even in very short interval.

thanks yooy
I feared it might be a bit much traffic. Even with two phones it might still be a bit much. Maybe I need to rethink.
