Re: send text msg to phone from IBM i

exactly... so that's my thoughts on doing away with traditional
username/password on a new website...
just use phone number (and email as backup ) and screw the password and let
the phone and (txt authentication) be the login method.
no more maintaining usernames and passwords.

if it is a site that supports a messaging forum, simply assign a "username"
to the phone number so the phone number is not shared with the other forum
members.
many new modern ways to do things... the user/password model is obsolete
IMO. It is only what people are used to.

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?
