SMS Access

Is there any way of accessing the SMS System via the Internet. It runs as far as I understand over the same Physical Layer, with probably a different protocol. Regards, Bram

Well Richard, That was not really my question. The Internet uses HTTP and TCP/IP protocols, the Mobile Phone service runs over the same physical network, but, with a different protocol. What is this different Protocol! Where is the Spec for it! Regards, Bram.

From 2G onward it is is called GPRS General Packet Radio Service - Wikipedia[^]
Quote:
GPRS extends the GSM Packet circuit switched data capabilities and makes the following services possible: SMS messaging and broadcasting "Always on" internet access Multimedia messaging service (MMS) Push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) Instant messaging and presence—wireless village Internet applications for smart devices through wireless application protocol (WAP) Point-to-point (P2P) service: inter-networking with the Internet (IP) Point-to-multipoint (P2M) service[citation needed]: point-to-multipoint multicast and point-to-multipoint group calls
On most devices if they have a GPRS client it will then use a standard GPRS AT command set which is something like a more advanced Hayes AT modem command set.

As far as I know the mobile phone service runs over a totally different physical and logical network using radio transmission. Details of the actual protocol used can be found by sms protocol - Google Search[^].
