marmite Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sorry if this is in the wrong bit. Does anyone know anything about sending SMS or MMS from my server (so, users could be texted that their order had been dispatched)? I don't know where to start looking... do I need something particular installed or will it work with my normal mail server? Thanks Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman6003 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 SMS can be sent via email by addressing the email to phonenumber@provider.com...you should be able to find the @provider.com part from google...for example, verizon is 123456789@vzw.com I think. Remember that SMS is limited to 160 characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks for this. I've done some googling and it seems that the user would have had to enable sms 2 email on their account. Is this right? Is there any other way of doing this so that nothing but the number is required from the user? e.g. what these guys do doesn't require knowledge of the phone service provider: http://www.cbfsms.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
