PHP to send SMS [3G Dongle?]

Post by LA33R »

So,

Since you've seen from my other post I've been making a password reset script for LDAP and Active Directory.

Now comes the security bit, I have all the end users Mobile Phone numbers in a database, so what would be ideal is when they want to reset the Active Directory Password offsite I send them an activation code to allow them to a page to reset the password?

I don't have their personal e-mail addresses, only their Mobile Phone numbers to use.

I've ready about using the mail functions to send an email to a carrier anonymous SMS service, which looks more of a US originated thing.

I have access to a lot of various 3G Dongles, could we say use these to send a text message through using PHP to run a little server side utility?

I have no idea how I'm going to go around this get, and the thought has only just popped into my head so I'm going to do a little more research first.

Anyone ever managed to get PHP to send a text message?


Thanks,

LA33R.
