    well... before you do that i think you'll have to register in any website that sends SMS.
    i dont think there is a stand alone control or software that does that on its own(as far as i know) without incorporating it with a website.
    because i've also searched for this times over and with no better result.

    Note:this is IMO

    yeah sure... google it

    do a search on google for Free SMS

    after you have decided which of the site to use, you'll now go on and create your app with the criteria they use in sending the sms(but note that most of them require you to login first).
    and i think the WebBrowser Control will be needed for this...

    Most people here are more willing to help if they see you have researched your question and have attempted to write some of the code yourself.

    Not the only way to do it...there's service numbers out there that are public access, meaning that they accept a message from *anyone* who calls and forwards the message to the required recipient. The problem with these are they're usually foreign so you're paying for an international phone call (although it's only a few seconds)...in that case you would have to dial up to the specified server and send the required information to it, which is a lot more work than any code that uses websites to send totally free SMSes.

    I used to send graphics/ringtones to my Nokia (didn't have a cable or infra-red) so I was a regular user...but dunno the number, as that was years ago and done via dial-up when I had dial-up...I've had broadband ever since 512k came out :-)
    Well, everyone else has been doing it :-)

    If I have helped you, RATE ME! :-)

    I love helping noobs with their VB problems (probably because, as an amateur programmer, I am only slightly better at VB than them :-)) but if you SERIOUSLY want to get help for free from a community such as VBForums, you have to first have a grounding (basic knowledge) in VB6, otherwise you're way too much work to help...You've got to give a little if you want to get help from us, in other words!

    And we DON'T do your homework. If your tutor doesn't teach you enough to help you make the project without his or her help, FIND A BETTER TUTOR or try reading books on programming! We are happy to help with minor things regarding the project, but you have to understand the rest of it if you want our help to be useful.

    Re: Send SMS from VB

    Some phone providers support email to sms ,that is to send an sms you need to send an email to '[email protected]' or whatever.So all you have to do is find out if your isp has such a service.
