Orionsbelter Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 i've seen it on websites too, would be interested to know how its done, i think you can use a company that will help you send SMS Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/120349-send-sms-from-website/#findComment-620058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam291086 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 All i know is that you will need a phone suppler i.e O2 or Vodaphone to send the message. Then you will need a modem to send the message to the supplier for them to distribute it Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/120349-send-sms-from-website/#findComment-620062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Then you will need a modem to send the message to the supplier for them to distribute it Not necessarily. There are internet gateways as well. I know an operator who allows sending sms through e-mails. Might be a way.

imarockstar Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Um ... SMS is an email ... so you can send a SMS to anyones phone (who have texting available and are paying for it) .. send an email to your phone .. and you will receive it. Works the same way in return .. instead of texting a number .. text a message to your email .. you will receive it.

Mchl Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 SMS is not an email. There needs to be a gateway between the two. Many carriers provide such gateways, so people treat it as granted.

imarockstar Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 well all I was saying is that you could send an email to almost any cell number .... pending on there service if they can get SMS or not ... also depends on if you want the SENDER to be an actual phone number or show up as an email .. How many were you wanting to send off at a time ? b Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/120349-send-sms-from-website/#findComment-636636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeschroeder Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 as imarockstar pointed out, send them via email. No cost to you, but possibly will cost the recipient money depending on their service coverage. Here are some common ones for U.S. Carriers. http://www.sms411.net/2006/07/how-to-send-email-to-phone.html I have seen similar lists for international carriers as well.

JonnoTheDev Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Not all people can receive email on a phone but all CAN receive SMS! Get an SMS provider. You can usually buy credits suited to the amount of recipients. They also deal with message unsubscription. It is LAW that users have that option.

discomatt Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I agree with some of the above... use a paid SMS gateway. Almost all cellco's charge for text messages received by e-mail (via http://www.sms411.net/2006/07/how-to-send-email-to-phone.html). A great way to piss off a potential customer.
