RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: send text msg to phone from IBM i

Unfortunately - yes
I know of MANY people who never look at their e-mails - unless a text is sent to them to look at their e-mails
Ridiculous

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: send text msg to phone from IBM i

You know, here's my question about this.

Everyone has smart phones now. What's the difference between getting an
alert for a text or an email? Do people just ignore email alerts?

Hi Jay,
I, too, think that the Web API route is the best. But when I last sent SMS
without a web api, I used a cellphone connected to USB that worked like a
standard Hayes Modem. It was just a matter of connection to it via the
USB/serial port and sending 2 or three AT commands, I think one of them was
AT+CMGS. There's also real GSM modems that connect via serial or usb and
they're still to be bought and in use for embedded systems stuff.
Still, save yourself the hassle and go the web api route, don't forget:
it's very hard to make your text sending redundant with your own
infrastructure.
Best regards, RS

I know you can send a txt msg with the SNDSMTPEMM command if you know the
phone number's carrier...

Aside from calling a 3rd party web api, is there a way to send text
messages from the IBM i to a phone number if you don't know the carrier?
