Is there a utility available for sending sms to mobile phone from a clipper app, with or without using the bulk-sms software.
Thanks

there are sime winsock library for clipper.

sending a text can be the same as sending an email. you need to find out the gateway of the carrier.
if in the US, for example, sprint's text message is: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
verizon, is phonenumber@vtext.com, tmobile, is phonenumber@tmomail.net

ypou can google the carrier's gateway..

As Ali stated, it is really just a matter of sending an email for many carriers.

I email from within clipper/xharbour using the venerable blat program (free), which works quite well via SMTP and is small enough to invoke by RUNing from within most clipper apps.

Thanks Ali, thanks JockMullin. Got busy with some other work. Now started working on it. I connected my cell phone to the PC and able to see its modem configured on a com port. Thru Hyper-terminal I am able to send SMS also. Now this has to be automated thru the clipper app. I am finding problems in writing to com port thru tmy app. The error message is 'ACCESS DENIED".
I am using fopen, fwrite, ferror functions.
Can any one please help.
Thanks

I remember when i used to write Clipper apps, i used to use modems plenty of times and i wrote my own terminal system (similar to ProCom Plus) i don't know if anyone remembers that.

Anyhow, i used a library called Telepathy that was perfect for using modems and dialing etc..

I don't know if they still able to sell you or give you a demo of the lib... or if you can find it to download it and purchase it.

I found gnokii's command line interface for sending SMS very useful.
