Does anyone have a feeling as to whether we should do this ourselves by getting one or more SMS modems or using one of the many SMS services out there? Our application (to a backend database) has 2 methods of access:- a web interface used by call centres and various levels of stakeholders or a Terminal Services logon to access the client runtime (this method allows more functionality than the web interface). We're talking about sending/receiving roughly 10,000 SMS texts/month. Texts will be sent mainly from our web interface, but this facility could be opened up to Terminal Server users accessing the system/database. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA. ************************************************************************ The information in this internet E-mail is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.
