We have had just the same 'problem' in that we were required to setup a system which could send SMS via email / html forms etc. To cut a long story short you have to pay for the use of whatever network you wish to send the message from / to : there are no freebie options.
We had to plump for Blackberry devices in the end using a ColdFusion UI / MS Exchange gateway, Neil -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 February 2003 16:18 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: ColdFusion and SMS Messaging Our application would be US-only (government contract) so that's not an issue. What do you mean by "reached through email gateways"? Do you mean I can send an email to the phone and it displays as text or what? I need to send a simple text message and not something they have to strain to open and read. This is all blind to me - I live in a Radio Silent part of the country and we can't get AM let alone use a mobile phone. So pardon my ignorance on the mobile issue.

All the US ones can now, but if you want to send a phone email, one generally his to know the phone's provider. Outside the US, it's hit or miss... but actually, ICQ has taken a fair amount of the guesswork out of it by providing an email to sms gateway for a fair number of international providers: http://web.icq.com/sms/ There are also a variety of xml-based services listed on Xmethods.com to help with sending sms messages.... none of which I've tried. -- jon -----Original Message----- From: Andrea Galmacci - awd* [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 4:32 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: ColdFusion and SMS Messaging Which kind of interfacing are you looking for?
