I know of an ISV that could probably provide you that facility into Malaysia through Web Services. If you wish to contact me offlist, I can give you some details

The CALLHTTP is working great, btw. We have a division in Malaysia that wants to be able to have their outside sales reps check on their monthly sales goals using cell-phones and/or pda's. The question I have for the U2 world is if this has been done already and if you can give me some guidelines on what to do and what not to do? We see this as either: 1. exporting the sales goals data to an external server that is accessible from the web 2. have the phone send a query to the Unidata system and then receive a reply with the individual's data, on demand. 3. any other ways to approach a solution to this problem, of course. :) The problem that I see with option 1 is that even though we may have some sales reps in the field that want to use the new remote query ability there could be many more that are just as happy without doing anything different from what they already have. If we off-load the data to a web-service then we either have to update everybody's data (possible security concerns) or mark the records of the sales reps that want to participate (still some security concerns) and off-load only the marked ones. Option 2 is more granular but do I have to worry about different protocols or standards used by the different phone services? I hope I have explained myself well enough. Oh yeah, can anyone recommend a good resource for the programming of SMS? Thanks for any and all assistance.
