SMS Text Messaging

[RT]

Anyone have any recommendations on where to start looking for a *base SMS
package or code set that can be integrated into an existing SMTP enabled
application?

So far, my (limited) research has found many comprehensive messaging systems
with high price tags.

A client has an existing document management-to PDF- to Email system in
place and just wants to add simple SMS messaging to alert the users that
their documents have been sent.

Thanks,

RT

RT,

we offer a product **i4SMS** which is designed to
communicate with an Internet-Service-Provide which converts a
SMTP-message to SMS for mobile phones.

Please have a look to our page http://www.goering.de for more details
on **i4SMS**.

I am simply sending emails from the iSeries to cell phones with the
IBM SNDDST command.

Example
SNDDST TYPE(*LMSG) TOINTNET((&EML)) DSTD(&SUBJECT) +
LONGMSG(&BODY )

Where &EML = 12345...@mobile.mycingular.com
Total message should not exceede 160 characters.
Caluclate as %len(%trim(&eml) + %len(%trim(&subject)) +
%len(%trim(&body) + 2

SNDDST requires a non blank subject

Isn't this basically the same as sending an SMTP email to the carrier?

What if the receiver doesn't have an email capable phone or account and only
has SMS? Do all the carriers automatically convert to SMS?

I know my att wireless account works fine sending to
10digi...@mobile.att.net, can we expect all the major carriers to
function similarly?

What is magical about SMS. Appears to just be a short text email. I
have an older Startac cell phone that does not support sending
messages but receives them just fine. I went to the Cingular web site
and agreed to pay 2.99 a month for the messaging feature. It said
nothing about an "email" feature. Is there a difference with some
carriers between SMS & Email? Does it mater for incomming text to the
cell where it came from?

If you send a email to a Cingular number that does not have the text
messaging feature, then it just vanishes. No indicator on the phone
and no rejection sent back to sender.

I have only sent message from my iSeries to Cingular and ATT account.

If you actually read the thread, you would see that there's no other
requirement than to send confirmation messages to the user's phones. Troll.

After thinking about it for a while, and recalling another little "test"
project we did some time back, I've come to the realization that I've had a
serious "brain cramp" and all we need to do is send the smtp messages to the
cell #'s and put in a little logic to limit the text length (as suggested
previously.)

Thanks to all who responded.

In that case "RT", next time you want an email solution don't ask for
SMS Text messaging.
