Failure is not a Defeat it is just a Delay

Hi

Probably the easiest way would be to contact a GSM service provider and find out if they have a FTP sms facilities. The program I did wrote data to a txt file in the correct format and then FTP it to the SP FTP site which then get send.

There are several activex you can use to do this, all that i have seen are shareware. Its either append a message at the end of every sms or display a window that say its a shareware (not good for unattended system). one particular do not have this but limited features and have a bug, but still works.

Check out the ff:
1. www.softwarecave.com (the 1.5 version was the one im referring above)
2. sms from oxygen
3. mondor sms
and one that i forgot the name, sorry.

but if you can buy the license product. do not hesitate (after evaluating the product of course)

HI,

Sending SMS on VB will require different knowladge, if you want to use SDK tools for sending SMS Message on your VB APP then I recommend www.derdock.com, www.activexperts.com and OXYGEN, sending SMS is very simple using those SDK, however if you dont want to spend $$$$ then develop your own AT COMMAND set, you can use GSM MODEM or Mobile that has a built-in GSM MODEM to send SMS directly in your code using Serial Com or MSCOMM.

Example AT+C:
AT <-| 'Communicate to MODEM
AT+CMGF=1 <-| 'Set Sending Property to Text
AT+CMGS="12345678" <-| 'Send message to #
>"MESSAGE HERE" <ctrl+z> 'Message to Send
