Was thinking of doing it with XML but unsure how to start, how to go about it? Any ideas guys? SMS+CF+WAP+XML? It's alphabet soup time! SMS has nothing to do with XML or WAP/WML. You use SMS for pushing text messages, and you use WML to create the cellphone equivalent, roughly, of an HTML page. WAP is the cellphone analog of HTTP, more or less. WML is an XML language, that lets you present a set of related pages within a single document - in WML-speak, the document is called a deck, and each page is a card. WML development is quite painful and annoying, and I'd recommend that you avoid it if you can. In fact, I'd even recommend that you forget it exists. It's that painful. Anyway, fortunately for you, you don't need to mess with WAP/WML if you just want to send an SMS message. CF 7 provides an async gateway which can send SMS messages when properly configured. You can also often send SMTP mail to SMS gateways, although for an e-commerce app I'd go with the former.

RE: SMS CF
I don't really think there is a default protocol with Exchange, or any mail server. You choose to connect to Exchange using SMTP/POP/IMAP/MAPI/OWA/CDO/etc. I think you just need to choose one of those. If you are using CFMAIL, then you inherently use SMTP.

I am sending messages (e-mail) to pagers and getting many garbled messages on the pager. I have talked the wireless vendor, but it seems they don't know how to fix other than telling me to change the protocol. jl On 11/21/05, Sean Corfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 11/21/05, John Lucania [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am utilizing a Microsoft Exchange Server for the cfmail connection, which has SMTP as the default protocol.

I have talked the wireless vendor, but it seems they don't know how to fix other than telling me to change the protocol. If the pagers support emails, then as long as you send a short plain text email, it should work. Unless your Exchange Server is configured to do something stupid, like add an HTML version of each outbound message (yes, I've known this happen). Try sending emails manually (via Outlook/Exchange) to the pagers and see if that works. If not, it's Exchange at fault. If it works, then maybe you're sending non-text emails via cfmail. Changing the protocol is not relevant to this problem. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks?

Re: SMS CF
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have seen this result if the Message being sent to the pager is larger than the provider's max message length. On a side note, I have a SMS WebService Gateway running under CFMX 6.1 that I have created to send Messages to Alphanumeric Pagers and Digital Cell Phones that can be used. I have not made it public yet as I am trying to work out a way to Limit Access via a License Key kinda like Google does with their API.
