Send text to cell from PC VB6
Project ID:
754223
Project Type:
Fixed
Budget:
$30-$250 USD
Project Description:
I'd like our employees to be able to send a text to a cell number from a PC using a vb6 app. I tried using email. The problem is you have to know the provider to use email. Is there a way to do this without using email and not knowing the provider? I know the code is easy to write, so I'll definitely be looking for a low end quote.
Skills required:
Visual Basic,
Windows Desktop

Hello,
The most simplest solution is that you have to choose from one the sms gateways available out there on internet, then use their API to call it from any of the supported languages (VB, PHP, ASP etc.)

I think you will still need to determine the carrier Sir.

Here's my simple solution, it will require an active internet connection...
I will have Text Box for you to input the phone number you want to text, then there will be another text box asking what message you would like to send, finally there will be a Submit button that fills in a web site
with the phone number and the message and then texts the person.
Also I can add an address book and recent texts, also an option to save the current phone number/phone book.
Thanks for your time, if you pick me I can have this done in about 10-20 minutes depending if you want any more
features added, thanks!

A solution could be to use a GSM modem + SIM connected to a PC. The VB app will talk to the modem like any other modem, and use "AT" command to send message.
BUT, you'll need either so many of these modems, one on each PC, OR a PC acting as a modem server, allowing all computers on
a network to access one modem from that server.

I have to incorporate into an existing VB6 project, so I have to use VB6. This is all I need.
1. Text box for message
2. Text box for cell number
3. Send button that sends message to cell no matter who the carrier is. We may not know carrier.
