RE: Specifying a number when sending SMS

[Nicholas Calugar]

Will this application be available to a closed group (i.e. colleagues, students, etc) or to an open group? If the former is the case, you can “train” your users never to reply to the message. Most mobile devices can pick a number from the body of the message, and either place a call or send a text message to it.   Nicholas Calugar 619-546-9803 866-404-2428   Chatter 3577 4th Ave. San Diego, CA 92103   www.2chatter.com   -----Original Message----- From: John Vincent Mombay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 4:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Specifying a number when sending SMS   First thank you all for that insight.  So does anyone have an idea how I can overcome this?  I’m on a tight budget and can’t simply afford to use any other methods but by using a real mobile phone for this.    -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nicholas Calugar Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 1:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Specifying a number when sending SMS   I also haven’t heard of a GSM Modem allowing the “spoofing” of the FROM phone number. Think about the havoc that would ensue if you could send an SMS from your phone but it looked like it was coming from another person’s phone number. I understand that your use is legitimate but it is simply the only way they could implement the GSM network.   You probably can do this if you used some sort of provider for sending SMS.   Nicholas Calugar 619-546-9803 866-404-2428   Chatter 3577 4th Ave. San Diego, CA 92103   www.2chatter.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Navjot Singh Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 2:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Specifying a number when sending SMS   hope you mean setting FROM value. Well, that depends upon the SMSC. In my experience, most of the SMSC don't allow.   HTH Navjot Singh   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of John Vincent Mombay Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 1:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Specifying a number when sending SMS Hi guys,            Can anyone give me an idea if it is possible to specify a number when sending out an SMS via the http command?            I’d like to do this since whenever people send SMS messages from the browser they can’t possibly receive any replies from their mobile phones.  I set up kannnel with a virtual SMSC using a sony ericsson t68i.  It works well, though I needed to specify the number which I have readily available on a database that is retrieve based on who is logged in and sending it.   Hope you can help me on this.   Regards, JV
