Jacob. I have written a complete communication portal for sending emails and/or SMSs to communities or groups. Only South African cell networks supported at the moment. If you want, drop me a private mail and I can create a demo login for you. Alternatively, if you want something custom, or just want to send SMS to a few of your own contacts from your PC, I could hook you up with the service provider I use. Very easy to use and reasonable SMS charges On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 1:05 PM, Jacob Kruger <jacobk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > While I know there are some providers out there that provide a sort of > e-mail service, which lets you send a message to someone's phone by sending > an email to something like 12345678912@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, they don't all > work that way, so it's most likely rather specific to network > areas/providers, etc., but just wondering off-hand how you would otherwise > try something like sending a text message to someone's phone, either using > something like a sim card plugged into phone, or however...? > > This is in C# etc., since know could easily enough do it off the phone using > python, but not sure how would initiate the process, unless did something > like (and this might be a bit insane) initiate something like a bluetooth > connection to a python app running on the handset, waiting for a connection, > and then sending a message from there...? > > Stay well > Jacob Kruger > Blind Biker > Skype: BlindZA > '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' > -- Jacques Bosch Software Architecture and Development Independent Contractor Cell: +27 824711807 Fax: +27 86 504 4726 E-Mail: jfbosch@xxxxxxxxx __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
