Thanks Thanasis. This is helpful. And for the version 3.4 testing, I will let you know, if I can or not. As of now, I did a demo set up and my manager is happy about it and his superior as well. But they need to take a decision in going forward with this.
Thanasis, I have some more questions. 1. When I try to send a message, it gets delivered fine and the from address of the sms is my mobile no. Is there a way to set an alias for my number. ie., it has to say from 'Pradeep' instead of my number. I know this has to do something with short codes on service provider end, but can we do something? 2. Can you provide with some best know GSM Modems in the industry now? I was looking around and I got the below. Is this a good one? http://www.neteon.net/Products/125-134-214-447/Vendors-MOXA-Wireless-GSMGPRSModem Thanks Pradeep On Jan 28, 2:27 am, Thanasis <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Answers follow: > > On Jan 28, 7:06 am, Pradeepm <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > I am glad to seek you API for my application at office.
