Different numbers for each contest. and you have to enter something in the SMS like the answer for example. Also, the originating phone number is part of the request so they then know the mobile of the person that sent it and the answer. On 27/10/2008, Mike Kear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > W

Hi, We don't use any web connection from the mobile. As long as they can send an SMS then they are right. The email part of it is so that the consultants with email can send an SMS via their email which gets picked up and then ships it off as SMS via ValusSMS. Once we have 3000+ calls/month then

Exactly how you do it depends on how your provider sends you the message.I have one provider that sends messages to me by email, and another by an xml packet. Then there's SMPP. Typically they tell you how they're going to send it, or give you an option of 1 or 2 methods. Thats why I need
