eliokh Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hey all, I have a project and I need a server or something to send an sms to a given phone number whenever a certain event happens (the event should send a notification to the server with the number to which it should send the sms) I have no idea about it... . How can i send sms from the net that are "triggered" by a certain event on a software and not by a user entering the number ... is there a software for this? is it free? thank u in advance :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DonC Subscriber² Posted October 30, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted October 30, 2010 I use these people to send out SMS messages from a server. http://txtlocal.co.uk/ I've not had a reason to complain about their services during the last three years.

+John Teacake MVC Posted October 30, 2010 MVC Share Posted October 30, 2010 Just need a dial up modem connected to a phone line and the right software to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted October 30, 2010 MVC Share Posted October 30, 2010 you sure and the hell don't need a dial up modem ;) most sms can just be sent to an email address as well. What carrier are you on? ATT, Verizon? T-mobile? A simple google is all you need http://sms411.net/how-to-send-email-to-a-phone/ Most carriers have ?SMS gateways? which take email messages from the Internet and deliver them to their customers? cell phones as SMS text messages Info might be a bit dated, you can always look up current address if changed. But mine is tmoble and that info is correct, took a whole 5 seconds to get it from gmail ;) So you can use anything that can send a email message to send a sms.. I like the old smtpsend command -- still use it quite often. You can download it from here http://www.demk.co.at/download.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted October 31, 2010 MVC Share Posted October 31, 2010 Yeah I was ****ed when I wrote that. Some guy at out work used a dial up modem in the server and a SMS gateway number and some software to send out alerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeLab Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 You can send SMS to a lot of providers by sending e-mail to certain addresses. T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com where phonenumber = your 10 digit phone number http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/939/sms_email_cingular_nextel_sprint_tmobile_verizon_virgin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't know, then it gets more complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted November 18, 2010 MVC Share Posted November 18, 2010 Well since its a project where he wants to be notified of something happening, to a specific phone number -- I would have to its safe to assume he knows who the carrier is.. Since its a company employee getting notified something happened on the network, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since its a company employee getting notified something happened on the network, etc. Well, the way I read it is that the software is going to be sending the SMS messages to various different numbers: the event should send a notification to the server with the number to which it should send the sms If it was only sending to one specific number, there would be no need for the event to send the number to the server.

+BudMan MVC Posted November 19, 2010 MVC Share Posted November 19, 2010 Send to server? He clearly can not express what he wants ;) hehe He wants an alert sent to a phone.. "I need a server or something to send an sms" "to a given phone number" "whenever a certain event happens" -- ie service fails, backup finishes, drive reaches 80% capacity sort of thing if you ask me. What you have to love is how he is wondering where his answer its 20 minutes after posting.. Now has not been back in like 3 weeks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
