[RESOLVED] SMS Feature in my Website

[akhileshbc]

Hi guys,
How can I add a SMS feature to my website ?
Just like, www.160by2.com
or, www.way2sms.com

The recipients will see the sender number as TK - MyWeb something like that. (eg: TK - 160by2)

If possible, give the information regarding India, because I am living in India

Hi,

Bulk sms providers with access to an sms gateway will usually give you the following:

ip address
username
password

With the above data, you embed a simple API or SMPP script into your website.

or you can just send an SMS email. For example, my carrier is AT&T (formerly cingular), so my email is [email protected], if you send an email to that, i would get an SMS to my phone.

I setup a script like that last year, let me see if i have it still

Yeah, I used a service like that awhile ago! I was interested in learning how sms system worked back then.

Thanks for the reply guys...

Currently I am looking for something that can be used to send SMS from my website.
I am a bit confused.. .

@dclamp : I liked that facility. But it only allows users to send messages to your number. And not to any other number that the users will enter...

@Nightwalker83 : That idea is nice. but the service providers will allow limited quantity of messages according to the SMS credits that I had purchased.

What about adding my own SMS server facility ? What things should I have to keep in mind ?

I'm not sure if that is possible! Even if it is I think you would still have to go through a service provider. Although, I haven't tried it on a website, I remember using a visual basic 6.0 code which allowed a user to send texts via the function built-in to icq years ago.

I will be using classic ASP for my site....

Is the point here to send SMS messages for free? If it is not, you can use a service provider like Clickatell.

Ok.... thanks guys... I liked the bulk sms feature...

What about sending free sms ? I enquired way2sms.com 's people for this. But they are not replying.
I want to send free sms, allowing the service provider's Ad in the end of each msg..
What about that ?

Wrong, you put in any number you want, select the carrier, enter your message and press send.

[akhileshbc]

Ok. I am in India. And you are in US. So, is that possible to implement that in here... ??

Here is the one i made:

What was the server-side code used and did you write the code yourself or modify someones code?

if you look at the list of carriers on my site, you will see which ones my script supports at the time. I saw your PM, and your carrier is not on the list.

I dont have much time to look into it now, as i am off to school.
