Sending SMS

[usamaalam]

Hi,

I want to send SMS on a mobile device through VB. Is this possible, if yes, how ??

Thanx

To send to a mobile device from VB the only way I could find was to do it using an e-mail to sms service.

You might want to checkout the following URL for free and pay routes to doing this (The pay list is at the bottom.)

I ended up going down the pay route (worked out at about 3p per message) because I couldn't get any of the free routes to work.

In the end I settled with

Hi I have worked with this unit many times, Its called a "Cell Modem" it uses its own sim card and has every function a cell phone has and more!!!.you connect it to your comm port and then use VB to send commands to it, it can be a bit tricky at times to program but it is very useful!! Give Siemans a call the sell them.

most sms support regular email anyway..

for example.. i work at verizon wireless... and you can send a text message to any verizon cell phone (that supports text messages of course) by emailing mobilenumber@vtext.com

i think most large carriers are like this now

use an SMSC and serial communication
