What Version of TurboPowers Async Pro are you using, as the current 
one is 4.07 and can be obtained at the Open Source Site 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpapro/ .

The fixes may be their, if not I know some of the Old TurboPower 
Employee's and maybe I can get them to make the fixes that are necessary.

Or you can send the fixes directly to them.


And I think I would like to pursue Option 3.

 Is the a component or source code available that would
 allow me to Send SMS messages to peoples phones from my Delphi
 Application?

 Before thinking about source code, you need to decide the technology to
 send the SMS, and arrange necessary hardware and/or service centre
 accounts for testing the application.

 The common ways to sending low volume SMS are:

 1 - Send the message using an email to an SMS service centre. Needs an
 internet connection and the ICS SMTP component.

 2 - Use an HTTP request to send the message to an SMS service centre.
 Needs an internet connection and ICS HTTP client component.

 3 - Use a GMS modem (or a mobile telephone with an RS232 connection) with
 a SIM card to send the message.  Needs async component using GSM
 protocols, but works without an internet connection provided the GSM
 modem has cell service.   The Turbopower Async Pro component supports GSM
 protocols, but needs various fixes to work with current modems.

 I have an application that does the last two, but it's not trivial.

 What Version of TurboPowers Async Pro are you using

Does not really matter, the TApdGSMPhone component appears to have been
developed for one specific Nokia mobile phone, never tested with GSM
modems, and then abandoned.  Maybe no-one ever used it?

But it was the best I could find three years ago, so I modified it to
work with Nokia 30 and Siemens MC35 modems (the TC35 is similar but for
the USA), and it mostly worked but was less reliable than using SMS
bureaus over the internet.  

 Or you can send the fixes directly to them.

No-one has taken much interest in maintaining Async Pro for several years,
but I'll send you my fixed unit and the demo program I fixed, but without
a GSM modem you won't be able to do anything useful with it.
