Many SMS public systems seems to be able to konfigure or change the SMS prefix very often. Some radio and TV stations are "constantly" presenting votes or other thing where people are invited to "send THIS to 1234" or "send THAT to 2345". It seems not very practical to do this via the gateway config screen all the time. Are there any other, good ways to do this, or is this something that is normally handled outside of the gateway?

Olaf,

This is something that I'd normally handle outside of the gateway.

We'd pass the inbound data off to a generic 2-way command that would take care of routing the message appropriately.

If you're expecting any type of volume, I'd suggest the 2-way interface link to an HTTP command rather than an executable command. The script that processes the HTTP command would be modified to process and differentiate data for the different campaigns that are being run.
