Dear all
Am a newbie to this group. I need a gr8 help from you ppl. I need to develop an GSM application that sends ringtones to all kinds of mobile phones(Nokia/Samsung/Sony Erricson etc.,). The application needs to send the ringtone through a GSM modem. For example, if i send anything like TOP 3893 to a no. like 98880 12345 (this SIM will be in my GSM modem) where 3893 is the code of any particular ringtone. I should automatically send the ringtone from my application through GSM modem.
Similar kind of things like sending ringtones were done by Yahoo/SIFY/Rediff sites. I was not aware of the technology/idea behind that. How they send ringtones automatically when they recieve any particular SMS like TOP 3892.
Please guide me reg this .....
Thanks & Regards,
Sathish

You'll need an SMSC. A reasonably good one will cost about $250,000 to set up. You'll also need to contact a mobile service provider to talk about premium SMS billing. That isn't cheap either. And then you'll need to write an application to actually translate receieved messages into outgoing SMS ringtones/data. That'll be at least 3 - 6 months work for a small team of developers.
Do you have $500,000 to spend?
