In the UK we have sms2email.com and others. You can use a simple URL command to send sms, like this :

put http://www.sms2email.com/sms/postmsg.php? to_num=pNumber&message=mText+ok&flash=0&username=uName&password=pWord into smsVar

replace "pNumber" with yourPhoneNumber in smsVar
replace "mText" with messageText in smsVar
replace "uName" with yourUserName in smsVar
replace "pWord" with yourPassword in smsVar

get URL smsVar

this will send the message and place some sort of "OK" or "not OK" message in the "it" variable, which you can handle as you wish.

It costs about �10 for 100 messages. There must be something similar in oz.

Cheers,

Mark

I have an application that monitors multiple temperature sensors,
setting off alarms if any of them go outside their required parameters.
This is fine locally as I can have an audible and visual alarm, but now
I'm working on what happens when something goes wrong in the middle of
the night!

There are various methods, both active and passive, that have occurred
to me, but I was hoping that some of you could come up with more ideas
or methods.

Passive: web site, email (no problems here, just they reply on people
checking)
Active: SMS, telephone call, some other brilliant idea?

Here is where my problems really begin. I haven't an idea how to do SMS
(text messages) and while I know how to make a modem ring a phone
number, how do I respond when the phone is answered? Is it possible to
play a recorded sound, or use the speech commands to speak down the
phone line?

If it makes any difference, this will be running only on Macs with OS X.

Cheers,
Sarah
