sms using php

[ted_chou12]

I remember sending sms is just like email, except the receiver's email is a bit different:

<?php
require("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP(); // set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "ipipi.com"; // specify main and backup server
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Port =25;
$mail->Username = "YoureIPIPIUsername"; // SMTP username at ipipi
$mail->Password = "YourPassword"; // SMTP password

$mail->From = "YourUserName@ipipi.com";
$mail->FromName = "Your Name";
$mail->AddAddressTo("DestinationPhoneNumber@sms.ipipi.com", "Receiver Name");


$mail->Subject = "Compression Option goes here - find out more";
$mail->Body = "Your Message";

if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
   echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
   exit;
}
echo "Message has been sent";
?>

Does anyone have a list of sms services domains like: sms.ipipi.com (the one shown in the example)?

 

Thanks

Take a look at this:

thanks, but im a but confused now, are:

sms.ipipi.com

message.alltel.com

mmode.com

myboostmobile.com

 

these phone companies or are they online sms services? ???

[cmgmyr]

they are all phone companies

[ted_chou12]

so each phone company has different address?

Correct. For example, my SMS email address is 11234567890@mobile.celloneusa.com, where 123-456-7890 is my phone number. The first 1 is the USA country code. I, personally, love this - spammers need to know both your mobile phone number, and your service provider.

I came across this article .Please take a look at it.

hi, i get it now, however, are there any lists of phone service providers with their address like mobile.celloneusa.com? So that users can choose from them.

 

Thanks

when they sign up they will have to select their service provider from a list. When they submit the form, write all of the data into your DB. Then when you send out your "SMS" (email) you will have to search for the provider's info and add that onto the user's phone number.
