Re: Sending SMS txt messages

I'll put in my 2cents since I've worked with literally many hundreds of
customers that want to do this.

Find a service online that will do it using API/RESTful calls if you want
to make sure it works. You can use something like GETURI (
www.bvstools.com/geturi.html) or Scott's HTTPAPI to make the call to send
the SMS message.

Even if you know what number and carrier, etc, it doesn't always work, and
I've been hearing of some shutting down those types of services.

Now, if it's not an integral part of your system and you don't care if the
messages may not get there, you can fight with the email to sms options.
But if it's a big part, the money to pay for a service to do this is well
worth it.

And for AT&T I think it's att.net - the point being, anything that can
send emails can do this, Gary did mention MMAIL, so I think that's the
direction he's looking.

But V5R3? Uffda! Feeda! Ishta! That's as bad as I can get!

Is SNDDST the only option? I just Googled for

snddst multiple email address

and got at least this hit, which might help -

*IF* you are in the US and *IF* you know the carriers of the phone

numbers you want to send to, you could pretty easily roll your own via
email using this...

Carrier Carrier domain
Cingular mobile.mycingular.com
Metrocall page.metrocall.com
Metro PCS metropcs.sms.us
Nextel messaging.nextel.com
Sprint PCS messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile tmomail.net
Verizon vtext.com
Virgin Mobile USA vmobl.com

The "to" email would be "7085551212@xxxxxxxxx" for Verizon for example.

Subject: Sending SMS txt messages


[EXTERNAL E-MAIL]




Does anyone have a solution to send out txt messages to many people?

I have looked at MMail but it has a prerequisite of V5R4.
I'm currently running V5R3.

I don't care if it runs off the i5 or a PC or a website.

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz
