Hi,

I've been searching around for a starting point in how to create an SMS text emulator. I'm just wanting pointed the right direction, what to look at, what type of functionality i will be needing etc

i've found bits on how to do it in ColdFusion but i'm not using ColdFusion so that ain't much help to me!

if anyone knows of anywhere that will help me then i'll be eternally grateful.

many thanks in advance

yeh, so instead of me using an actual mobile phone i will create something that emulates the functionality of a phone.

i've also found it can be done in java, but i really really really want to stay away from java.

i'm unsure as of yet how complex the emulator should be but i'm wanting any resources i can get now. i might be able to get away using an xml file but that seems far too simple.

What do you want to emulate regarding SMS? Last I checked it was only a message encoding format, nothing more.

this is exactly it. i'm not entirely sure whats involved in SMS, and then be able to create an emulator.

if, as you say, its a message encoding format then that will help me greatly. i'll look into that now. i'm needing avenues to look down. this might be a big help.

any more ideas please let me know

thanks
