Help! Sending SMS messages
-
Hey Guys, Does anyone know how to go about sending SMS alerts from a computer system? I'm kind of struggling to find anyone who provides this service so any links or info from those of you who have already done it would be excellent. BTW, the host operating system for this will be Unix :-O Cheers James

Check out www.sms2email.com[^] they have a HTTP POST and (i think) a HTTP GET interface for sending SMS's. Their service is very quick, (2 to 3 seonds from the http request to the phone reciving the message on average in our tests), the messages can be brought in batches from 50 to 1,000,000 and vary in price. They also give you 3 keywords on a VSIM which you can have forwarded as an email or have the incoming message delivered to a url. Richard Green

Thanks for the info Richard. Have you used this in a commercial app at all? I'm just interested to know how reliable it will be? Cheers James

I would think the delivery time is more network dependant. The sms service provider will have less traffic than the cell network. Imagine over the festive season, when all you messages are delivered quickly to the sms provider, and then take up to a day to be delivered to the handset. Hallelucination - when you think you see God

Yep, its currently in use in our "Synapse" communication suite as one of a few SMS backends on the server, the others are being discontinued as sms2email provide such a good service. As mentioned the service does rely on the network provider, so far we've tested with O2, vodafone, and orange all with very good results. Richard Green
