Wireless Text Messaging 1

[onetomany]

I am looking into writing an application thta will send out text messages to the pagers of managers of a call center when call volumes reach a certain level. I am not sure what is needed to send text messages. Can this be done using CDONTS or will I need to purchase specialsoftware or write a component.

Using a Web Service to Send SMS Text Messages in ASP.NET

By: Darren Cosker

The code snippet supplied uses a web service that can send an SMS text message to 90% of all mobile phones.

Before using the below code you must link the web service

. Information available on

http://www.salcentral.com.

Private Sub SendMessage(ByVal p_sPhoneNumber As String, _
ByVal p_sMessage As String, ByVal p_sUsername As String, _
ByVal p_sPasskey As String)

Dim smsService As New SMSService.SMSMessagingprocessService()
Dim sCountryCodes As String

Try
If smsService.ValidPhoneNumber(p_sPhoneNumber) Then
Dim result As Boolean = smsService.SendMessage(p_sPhoneNumber, _
p_sMessage, p_sUsername, p_sPasskey)
If result = True Then
MsgBox("The message was sent", MsgBoxStyle.Information, _
"SMS Messaging&quot
Else
MsgBox("The message could not be sent", _
MsgBoxStyle.Information, "SMS Messaging&quot
End If
End If
Catch ex As SoapException
MsgBox("An exception occured. " & ex.Detail.InnerText, _
MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "SMS Messaging&quot
End Try

End Sub

Thanks Darren
