The SIM security basically prevents it from working simply because you are bypassing the authentication process. I've wasted a lot of time on this to date. I can quite happily push messages into the phone, but it refuses to forward them on. Ideally I want to use the mobile phone approach since SMS messages CAN get through where we can't get web access, so the mobile patrols can report position back to the main web service, but at the moment we have to have a body on the other end of a phone to manually complete the loop - so over night it does not happen :( All the talk about about 'faster mobile internet access' is just a pipe dream around here.

In reality, a SMS messages are transported the SS7 network, or voice network. To make the digital transition, carriers use a box called an SMPP gateway. To get access to this box, is by contract and terms of he carrier, and most commonly forbidden. As a result, the best bet is to use a SMS Aggregator.

Re: [PHP] SMS Cellular Text Messaging
i use our local email-to-sms service. it is not reliable. more often than not, it is not delivered to user. I did found kannel project (www.kannel.org), opensource gateway. but still not sure how it going to work or how to roll my own gateway. i guess, even we have our own gateway. we have to make deal with local ISP anyway and it cost money. if anyone out there know how. i am really interested to know...

The SMS carriers are taking their lessons from email spam and pretty much won't let you do anything even remotely like that hinky. Plus, their only customers are mostly, umm, errr, ring tones and fortune-tellers, so they have more than enough problems already with disputed billing from their clients' customers. Hmmm. I'm probably conflating SMS short code provisioning with more general short code services, as I only worked on a short code application... But I'm betting you can't forge the caller phone number even in regular messaging. Just too much room for abuse there. Good Luck! -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

Re: [PHP] SMS questions
Brian, Here's another thing that would be nice: A web service to look up the carrier for a cell number. That way you could simply send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], though this would still be only a partial solution. This is a lot harder now that numbers are transportable between carriers. from what i can tell this is somewhat of a pipe dream, unless youre a big company that a telco *really* likes and have tons of money. the voip industry which ive been working in for nearly 2 years now has lots of feature like this. the only reason they have those features is because of the sheer nature of voip, which enables almost anyone to provide telephone functionality over the internet. cell phones are a totally different story though and my fear is the only way to get in is a dirty hack they [telcos] are overlooking that if properly exploited could become an open source movement that the phone companies would have to accept. something similar to the open source voip movement but w/ cell phones. i was close to this hack late last year, but its so unreliable that theres no way to go to production w/ it. -nathan On 7/12/07, Brian Dunning [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's another thing that would be nice: A web service to look up the carrier for a cell number.

Re: [PHP] sms through teleflip and php?
Maybe phpMailer isn't sending the correct headers either. Sometimes all it takes is one missing header that a system is looking for and it may filter it as spam or something. Again, I encourage you to examine the headers from your Thunderbird good email and compare it to your PHP and/or phpMailer headers that are getting sent. Possibly try to emulate the successful email as much as possible by copying the headers from a known successful message.

For what it's worth, most cell phone providers have an email gateway which works just as good as an SMS message (and it's free!).

RE: [PHP] SMS Again, UK
Well, funnily enough, your question has much the same answer ... If you have a mobile phone and your service provider offers a web gateway, you can use it to send SMS messages. They will provide a script that you can use. If you have an Orange phone, see the Orange web site. If it's a Voda, see their web site, and so on. The charge is usually the same as it would be if you sent the message from your phone, but if you have a contract it may include free messages. There are services such as NovelSoft (http://www.sms-wap.com) that are independant of provider, but you have to pay for them too. Novelsoft is quite cheap, and there are PHP scripts on the site, but some providers don't accept their messages. I have a NovelSoft account, but I can't use it to send messages to my Orange phone. I read somewhere that this is because some of their customers used the service to send spam.

RE: [PHP] SMS Again, UK
Oh yes, I forgot about email, which was mentioned in another answer to this FAQ. Some providers give you an email address with your phone, for example I believe that One2One (or whatever it's called today) give you phonenumberone2one.com. Email sent to that address arrives at your phone as an SMS. Somebody has to pay for the message, so it's probably you. By the way, there is no guarantees on how long it will take to deliver an SMS, or if it will ever arrive. Typically 1% never arrive, more if the network is very busy because something interesting has just happened on Big Brother and everybody below 35 in the UK is sending a text (to somebody who is busy sending them one). That means it's wise to send a text, wait a few minutes and send it again. Buy a UPS with plenty of capacity ... Oh yes, and don't forget to put all of the network access devices on the UPS - the router, the switch and so on. Otherwise when the power fails, you won't be able to access the message gateway across the web.

RE: [PHP] SMS with PHP
another solution would be to by a cellular modem, which can be set up on the windows/*nix machine and used to relay the message.

Re: [PHP] SMS with php
Due to all the questions I am posting replies to this thread to a single message. I'm very intruiged how you have got this to work it was my understanding you needed to be running a server, such as kannel, and have a contract with an smsc? No, you don't need anything special. could U list the URL http://www.radio.net/rfc1861.txt?number=1861 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1568.txt?number=1568 This is old, Don't use it. The reason is not that any of the commands are unusable but there is no reason to go through the trouble of programming to do it to an out of date rfc. Thats the standard, but because of the other systems involved in delivering msgs then I don't think it possible just to do that without the co-operation of a third party smsc. You don't need any third party anything. It is exactly like sending a request to a web server (get, post, header, etc...) except the port number will be different and the commands are different. But, the premise is the same. OPen a socket, send request, process response, send request . I know the browser is usually doing a lot of this for you but the point is that if a company has a gateway out there you can send messages to it. for those who are interested there is a good wap/sms server, open source and generally funky kannel (kannel.3glabs.org) Not neccessary. You can do it with PHP, Perl, Python, C or anything else you can bind to a port. It is really not that difficult. If you own a wireless company and need to make the actual gateway all the pieces are available to stitch together. PHP or some other language for the internet gateway, RTNPP that will communicate with the actual terminal. Time is required but not a lot of money. Yes, but if you don't have a lot of traffic you can use a GSM modem as SMS-C. Anyway, any single message will costs as by contract with the carrier. I was not aware that any carrier would attempt to charge someone trying to contact one of their subscribers. Surely I misunderstood you here. I will talk to my employer about releasing the code I have. I am currently rewriting it for another application so I am not sure when it would be in a state to be released. It currently only has been tested with US based companies like skytel, Verizon, ATT, and the like. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 915-695-6962 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] SMS with php
Thats the standard, but because of the other systems involved in delivering msgs then I don't think it possible just to do that without the co-operation of a third party smsc.

Re: [PHP] SMS with php
for those who are interested there is a good wap/sms server, open source and generally funky kannel (kannel.3glabs.org) It's all you need to server wap, but sms does requrie a contract (=cost money) with a service centre - Original Message - From: Tom Carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: nico_oreka [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Lewis Bergman [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 11:07 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] SMS with php Thats the standard, but because of the other systems involved in delivering msgs then I don't think it possible just to do that without the co-operation of a third party smsc.

yeah you can do that, don't know about other phones, but for nokia you need the cable, a phone with the appropriate plugs (ie a 5xx0 / 6xx0 / 7xx0 / 9xx0 model phone, not a 8xx0 or 3xx0 model), and the nokia data suite or free alternative if they exist for your operating system.

Re: [PHP] SMs
Hi, This "special server" is usually called an SMSC - SMS Center, run by your mobile operator. These SMSC's are pretty powerful in the way that you can access them through TCP (VPN for sure, and sometimes even HTTP), or through a direct link connexion. You'd need to talk to your mobile operator to get an access to it, though. Most offer that as a (paying) service to companies whow ould like to easily send out mass SMS's to their employees, truck drivers, agents, etc. Complete specification for a pretty much used SMSC can be found on the NOKIA site, in the developer's section. Now I'm glad I had something to contribute to this list ;) ""Bastian"" [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit dans le message news: 93s5n7$sh7$[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello!
