5657 is a "short code" provided by the Telco. Note that you need to procure a short code from every provider -- Airtel, Reliance, RPG, etc. so they can route the SMS destined for that short code to your end. If you are handling a large volume of SMS, then it's best that the Telco directly routes the SMS to your computer. You don't need a cell phone at your end. However, your computer needs to support the appropriate SMS routing/delivery protocols -- TAP, SNPP, UCP, etc. Once the SMS is delivered to your computer, you can parse it and take any action you desire. If you just want to test this with a low volume of SMS messages, then just plug any compatible cell phone to your computer with the appropriate software. Eg. A nokia phone with gnokii. - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
