通过vb.net中编码的我的应用程序发送短信

Question

My client requires an sms to be sent to him, whenever an invoice is made on his system by any of the employees. I have no idea how to configure it. Do I need to buy any sms-server service?

How to integrate into my application?

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

I am not sure what country you are in. But in the UK i use this provider.

They have excellent examples

I can send SMS from my webserver, my Windows .NET Form application, a iPhone app if i wanted to. This is possible because it uses a simple HTTP Request API, so even using JavaScript AJAX from the client will work.

Just search for SMS Gateway and find your countries advisability. Look at a few and decide which one suits your needs and also the costs involved.

My Provider charger per sms.. no signup fees, no contracts, just top up.

Using a mobile phone is more involved, but obviosly it has the benefit that you control every aspect of sending, receiving and processing data.

for example 1 , 2 , 3

You can even buy a module from china just designed to interface via Serial to send/recieve SMS, and even use the GPRS to get/send HTTP request.
