RE: SMS Text Messaging

[meovino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Carl,

What if your cell phone provider (Sprint PCS, in my case) gives you a POP
account at yourphonenumber@sprintpcs.com?  If I send mail to that, it's a
POP message, not an SMS message.  Do the providers give you another address
for sending SMS messages?

I have an app that does it.  Basically just sends a short text message to
the email address of a cell phone.  Works great.

Subject: SMS Text Messaging


Hi all,
           does anyone have a successful implementation of SMS text
messaging
from an AS/400 / iSeries? I do not want to pass the messages to an
intermediary like BT, Vodaphone etc
- I am doing that already
and they are just too unreliable for critical messages.  Surely some
software exists somewhere that would enable my iSeries to send SMS
transactions direct to mobiles/pagers via a modem?  I have an Intel blade
in
my iSeries, so at a pinch, even a Windoze application would be an option.
