Re: SMS messages
I had to set up my first SMS application about 3 years ago, and I was busy looking for Australian SMS providers, when another colleague said to try an English company he'd been using. I too was skeptical about using an overseas company, but he assured me that it didnt matter. So we had a race.We sent SMS messages from my phone to his phone, using the normal 'two thumbs and press 'send' method, and using his web site to another phone. We pressed his enter key and my send button together, and time after time, the web site would win. He was sending a XML packet to the English SMS server, they were routing the message through any number of other providers around the world (depending on where the cheapest carriers were on this day) and eventually ending up beside us here on the next desk in Australia. It turns out that SMS providers treat SMS messages like a commodity. They buy in huge numbers, and make a margin by selling to you and me and our clients in smaller volumes. So the routing today will quite likely be different to how it was yesterday because of the pricing. Of course there are plenty of issues to check on when searching for a provider, but when it comes to SMS messaging, location doesnt matter for performance reasons. This is rather similar to knowing that it doesnt really matter much where you locate your web servers geographically, as long as they are provided with enough bandwidth and set up properly.

Re: SMS messages
Voxeo. They have been on an acquisition tear recently, picking up Tropo and a couple others that I forget. As a result, they have a pretty wide variety of plans and platforms of which one will likely fit your needs. I use their traditional CCXML/VoiceXML platform for outbound calling and they added SMS to it awhile back. I'll be implementing it at work here soon. The new platforms they picked up through acquisition look nice. Lots of REST-based calls for voice calls, sms, IM, etc though not necessarily with the same SLA found in their traditional platform.

Re: MX 6.1 and Sending SMS Messages
1. How do I install the jar file on our server?
You need to upload the jar file to the server, and place it on ColdFusion's
classpath (/{cfroot}/lib/ will work).
2. The code you provided looks good and simple (which is what I'm looking
for!). Will it work with the OpenSMPP jar file, or will I need to change
the methods to ones that are in OpenSMPP?
The example code I provided was for OpenMarkets / Simplewire's API. If you
are using the SMPP.jar you will need to use it's API. There is a sample
java application at
http://opensmpp.logica.com/CommonPart/Download/javatest_1_1/smpptest_full.zi
p that you can look at for reference to what you need to do to utilize it.
I have not worked directly with the OpenSMPP API so I can't help to much
there, but if I can get some time over the weekend I'll see if I can
translate that java test app into CF.
Good luck!
Rich Kroll
Rich and anyone else who's listening :)
I have been successfull in creating objects from the SMPP.JAR classes with my
coldfusion module. However, I'm not being successful in sending a message yet.
I have looked at the smpptest.java. One problem I have in converting this to
Coldfusion is the Byte TYPE. Some of the parameters needed are supposed to be
BYTE type but I don't think I can do that in ColdFusion directly. Can anyone
suggest how to proceed?
I'm still looking for an example of anyone who has done this in coldfusion mx
6.1.
Thanks!

Re: MX 6.1 and Sending SMS Messages
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have been doing this same thing with a product called TCPClient from www.intrafoundation.com. this program is a COM Object which gives Coldfusion the ability to communicate with all kids of TCP protocols. The Cell Phone Providers have and operate an SNPP Gateway which is using the TAP Protocol which they do not want to admit to as this cuts out the SMC's but if you ask the right question to the right person you can get the right information. If someone is savy with Linux they can install a program called QPAGE, a 2400Baud Modem to create their own SMC then the Coldfusion application would talk TCP to this machine to send pages on demand. This is the same thing which I have been doing for Indiana K-12 School Corporations for the past 5 years and my application sends out just under 2 Million text messages each year.

RE: MX 6.1 and Sending SMS Messages
Dave,
Do you have a SMSC (SMS Center) or an SMS Gateway? Currently we work with
OpenMarkets, which provides a java api that we leverage to send SMS, PSMS,
etc.
Either using an API provided from your SMSC, or OpenSMPP (which I assume is
where you found SMPP.jar) will be rather easy. You need to install the jar
file on your server, and then you can access it via createobject.
For Simplewire / OpenMarkets here is a sample:
cfscript
sms = createObject('java','com.simplewire.sms.SMS');
sms.setSubscriberID(subscriberID); // SMSC ID
sms.setSubscriberPassword(subscriber_password); // SMSC password
sms.setDestinationAddr(+#destAddress#); // user phone number
sms.setSourceAddr(SMS.ADDR_TYPE_NETWORK, sourceAddress); // phone
number / shortcode
sms.setMsgText('Sending you a message!');
sms.submit();
/cfscript
HTH,
