send sms using WinEvent on a web app

[Robert Iliuta]

Hallo,


What are the chances to make a web app and send sms using WinEvent?
Is this possible? Anyone make something like that?
Is possible to convert a desktop app using WinEvent to web with NT?


Thank you,
Robert

Robert,

Rather than worrying about setting up a GSM modem etc. on the server so you can send SMS via WinEvent, I'd actually look at a service provider such as Clickatell.com, who allow you to send SMS messages via HTTP or SMTP.

That way you can stick with just NetTalk and not have to worry about hardware etc. - just send an HTTP request to the Clickatell service with the SMS info and it will all get taken care of.  Cheaper than paying normal Telco 'per message' SMS fees in a lot of cases too.

Clickatell is global, but most countries have localised services as well which are usually even cheaper.  Here in Australia, I use SMSBroadcast.com.au.  It took me less than 30 minutes to add SMS capability to one of my Clarion apps recently.

Hope this helps,
Devan

Hi Robert,

Converting the windows app to web should be trivial. The SMS modem can be connected to the server, and the code which sends the SMS is identical in Windows or web. It's just a line of code which you can easily attach to a web button or something.

Bruce, thank you! I will try now to make a web app )

Devan thanks for tips, but we choose to use GSM modem. We have special subscription with unlimited sms and is easy to implement.

Robert
