Hi Simon,

Many thanks. All SMS messages will be to UK numbers and as you have 
suggested, I've seen the average price to be about 4 to 4.5p per
message.

Can you provide details of the hardware/software options you talk about
or
point me in the general direction thereof?

TIA,
Robert.

I have been asked before to do it and every time it has been dropped
because of the costs. 
Here in the UK there are no free options, and unless you limit it
heavily, the staff will abuse it. 
You will need to sign up with one of the bulk suppliers, but you will be
looking at between 2.5 and 7p a message, depending on the volume. On
bulk messaging 10,000 messages is not a lot, add another two zeros to
get the best rates. At 10,000 pcm expect to pay around 4 or 5p a message
- UK numbers only. Double it for international in most cases. 

As for how to do it, there are two ways. Hardware, where you have a SIM
on a device connected to your network and software, where the message is
sent to a service provider, usually using an API. 

The market is very competitive so have a good look round. If you can do
it with hardware and your own systems then you can move between
providers easily. 

Simon.

We've had a requirement from one of our customers to provide a facility
for SMS text messaging.

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

opened up
to Terminal Server users accessing the system/database.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

RE: SMS Messaging

2009-03-19 Thread Simon Butler 
Years ago I did it with a old Nokia phone plugged in to a charger, connected to 
an old laptop running a Psion Gold card and a third party tool. Things have 
moved on since then. 

You can get text machines, which is what most of the radio stations will be 
using. These are basically a form of mobile phone with a SIM inside them. 
However that will not give you the best rates because you will be using the 
mobile phone network's service and are best suited to inbound texts.

Your best option is to look at SMS gateway APIs and run it over the internet. 
Tons of those around. Google SMS Gateway with the UK switch turned on and every 
link including the adverts will take you to something suitable. It all depends 
on what you can do with the service. Some offer Outlook plugins, or an Exchange 
plugin, as well as dedicated applications. 

It is one area where Europe leads the USA in software development, most of the 
good stuff is coming out of the UK and Germany.

Why not use the resources of another.  Setup a company Twitter account.

Subject: SMS Messaging

We've had a requirement from one of our customers to provide a facility
for SMS text messaging.

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.
