I found a list of SMSC numbers but you would require a GSM modem to dial in in order to send SMS. The only charge is the call but in US there aren't any local call charge so it would be free.

How to set up a legit SMS?

Post by myleow »

This thread has been mainly devoted to sending plain text SMS for free.

I would like to raise the question as to what are the necessary equipments to actually pay and send SMS? In which case, you can send plain text, OTA settings, any encoding of your preference.

Do you just need a SMS gateway? There is a Open Source SMS gateway available anyway.

So has anyone here setup an SMS terminal or whatever you call it and would like to share the information?

Regards

in two weeks site with netsize.com gateway is going live...
nice documentation, http://www.netsize.com/sdk/nso_sms.html
haven't tested the php extension... but the c++ api works nicely :)


last summer i wrote a backend that was using http://www.ringring.be, they use xml post to handle sms, but have lousy documentation... didn't even understand what i meant when i asked for dtd or xsd file to describe xml :p

Bulk SMS Provider

Post by myleow »

Any SMS Developers can suggest some cheap, bulk SMS sellers?

T-Mobile has a 300 SMS for US$2.99 but that is for T-Mobile Subscribers and it only work with mobile phone.

I am looking for an SMS Provider like Clickatell that provides web API to send SMS. I need to send OTA, vCard and other Binary SMS. Text SMS is not that important unless i put it up free to be used.

Anyway.. The cheapest i found was from SMS Everywhere 10,000 SMS for US$14 with US$45 registration fee comes out to US$0.0014/sms but they can only send to US and Canada. I need something that is worldwide. Clickatell is worldwide but at Euro$0.044/sms that is way too expensive when it is in Bulk.

Even with the registration fee SMS Everywhere is still cheaper than Clickatell.

Anyway, i have been searching but haven't found any.

Unless you connect your cell phone to your computer and have a script redirecting the SMS it receives to the site, i don't think there is any way other than contacting your wireless provider to do what you want.
