Call your local telephone operator and ask them about this. They will be happy to sell you the ability to do this. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Any suggestion for texting
Hi, You may be able to use email-2-sms facilities online. If you can find a free service, even better: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/email-to-sms/ If it's a Linux box, you can setup something to send out an email, via an SMTP relay of your choice, to your client's email-sms facility. There maybe other options - you might be able to use a mobile / bluetooth dongle to send SMS from the kiosk, but I am very vague on that... HTH Glen John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Any suggestion for texting
Asking ATT for anything is usually a waste of time. :( I hope there are other alternatives, or else I'm in for a LONG uphill battle. Besides these will be assorted kiosks, in assorted places, so contacting local phone companies, more than likely will not be an option. I'm hoping there is a server side solution possibility.

Hi. :) You might want to look at using a PHP script, and then just have your Flash call the script. A quick google for php send sms message will turn up a slew of examples you can have a look at, to see if they might be suitable. -- Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Developer amur...@delvinia.com Delvinia 370 King Street West, 5th Floor, Box 4 Toronto Canada M5V 1J9 P (416) 364-1455 ext. 232 F (416) 364-9830 W www.delvinia.com -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] Any suggestion for texting
Couldn't you just send an email to like: ###...@txt.att.net? Have a drop down where they select carrier. Have an if statement that sees what carrier is chosen and adds the appropriate @serviceprovider.com to the phone number String and do a php script that sends the email to the phone number? --Original Message-- From: John R.
