The easiest way to send / receive / reply to IM on a website

Question

I have a site written in C # and when the user does something I want to send an IM message to the administrator and allow the administrator to respond to the approval / rejection of the request.

I would like to use something like MSN Messenger or AIM so that IM messages can also be sent to phones as sms.

Answer 1

You need to pay for using an SMS gateway, which is a lot. Usually you buy bulk messages in advance. There are very few (if any) free gateways, as we all know that b * stards of mobile companies scalp. IIRC, the SMPP protocol used.

If you didn’t host the hosting site and didn’t own your own equipment, you can connect any modern cell phone to your USB port and use the vendor’s software to send SMS messages either via a serial protocol using Hayes commands or much more likely these days , a good object model in Java, C # or C ++. Nokia has been offering this for many years.

Different telephone companies have different formats, you will need to find a list of these addresses for your region. Not all of them support receiving these messages without paying a fee, but some do.

Edit: Here is a list of addresses for US carriers, try the appropriate one and see if it works for you: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/939/sms_email_cingular_nextel_sprint_tmobile_verizon_virgin/
