Thanks for your help. It actually does make sense just to send an email, because at first I thought I couldn't compile a list of international carriers, and the CF SMS would have that, but apparently it might not even be compatible with canadian carriers, not to mention that if I ever got a dedicated, I wouldn't have CF-ENT. In terms of problems the first thing (as far as I got) was that the test SMS server/device didn't want to send messages.... no errors, just didn't send.... But I'lll try the tutorials on Daon Cooper's blog anyway for fun. On 7/12/06, Paul Hastings <paul@sustainablegis.com> wrote:

But I'lll try the tutorials on how do you know? did you start the test server? start the gateways? start the client "device" (smsclient.bat on a windows box)?

clickatell looks interesting, and I am hosted on HMS like you said, so gateways would also be good...... What do you mean by 'async'? I'm not too familiar with gateways.......... Thanks.. On 7/12/06, Paul Hastings <paul@sustainablegis.com> wrote:

Thanks.. clickatell (and several other aggregators) doesn't support sending multiple SMS via the submit_multiple PDU which is where one "command" to their SMPP server sends SMS to multiple devices (phones). you end up having to send each SMS individually. this is also the case if you need to track the SMS & have to get a message ID back. while the cf SMS gateway is pretty fast, the SMPP server on the other end might not be (i've seen 1 SMS per second), so your app will have to sit & wait for the SMPP server to send each SMS & return a message ID. handing this whole mess off to cf's asynchronous gateway is super fast for the main application. the asynch gateway will handle sending the SMS in the background while the main app/user goes on to do something else. you have to be careful about this though, you can flatten the server on the other end fairly easily.

If you don't know where to start, make it simple. Almost every SMS provider provides email to SMS conversion. I think sprint is (phone number)@sprint.net (I think). Just send an email to whatever address and that will work fine. If you want to process INCOMMING SMS messages, that's a bit more difficult and I don't know how to do that.

I've been compiling a list of the various US telecom providers' email to sms addresses, here it is, this will save you some time.  If anyone has more to add (especially Sprint) please post. Qwest: cellnumber@qwestmp.com Verizon: cellnumber@vtext.com Virgin Mobile: cellnumber@vmobl.com Cingular: cellnumber@cingularme.com Alltel: cellnumber@message.alltel.com TMobile: cellnumber@tmomail.net Sprint: ???? -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: <phillipmvector@comcast.net> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 9:29 AM Subject: RE: sms msg and euent gateways

Sprint: cellnumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com At least that's what it has been to this point. I came over as legacy sprint so I'm not sure if Nextel is something different or if they're going to move everything to one domain or what in the future.

Thanks for that John.  Maybe someone on this list with Nextel could do a test, send themselves a text message to that address and see if it works. That would be awesome. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Burns, John D" <john.burns@wylelabs.com> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 9:48 AM Subject: RE: sms msg and euent gateways
