Does anyone know if the below is possible.
We would like to be able to contact cell phone users by texting
thru the computer and possibly record the messages. Are you aware
of any programs that work with Rbase or upgrades to Rbase that would
accomplish this?
Steve,
Not long ago, sending a text message, including images, rtf, xls, and
pdf files used to be a cumbersome process, and you had to subscribe to a
text message carrier to relay your text messages with attachment(s).
However, recently it has become the norm to achieve that goal via R:BASE
without having to go through those hoops.
As long as you know the carrier of the recipient's cell/mobile phone
number, you can simply use the
"mailto:<cellphone#@carrierTxtservice.ext"
command.
Would you like to see how simple this whole thing is?
Here's a simple example to send yourself a lovely text message via
R:BASE.
Assume that AT&T is your cell phone carrier and your cell phone number
is
574-532-7445.
At the R> prompt, type the following command and then press [Enter] key.
LAUNCH mailto:[email protected]?subject=Flat_Tire&body=Route_84S
The above command will use the default e-mail client configured on your
PC to compose and send e-mail as TEXT MESSAGE to your cell phone.
Here are the domain names of some of the more popular carriers:
Alltel......: @message.alltel.com
AT&T........: txt.att.net
Nextel......: @messaging.nextel.com
Sprint......: @messaging.sprintpcs.com
SunCom......: @tms.suncom.com
T-mobile....: @tmomail.net
VoiceStream.: @voicestream.net
Verizon.....: @vtext.com (text only)
Verizon.....: @vzwpix.com (photos and video)
Once you understand the logic and have knowledge of this technique,
you can automate the entire process as a stand-alone R:BASE application
or an add-on to your existing R:BASE application.
You can automate the entire routine using the built-in R:MAPMAIL Plugin
or R:MAIL.
It's as simple as ABC.
Let me know if you would like to see a compiled R:BASE X Enterprise
application using R:Mail X.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak
