Automated thanks SMS Functionality

Hi,

My client want me to implement automatic thanks sms functionality on his website. Basically he wants, when anyone submit his/her name and mobile number on the leads form then he/she will automatically get Thank You SMS on the given mobile number for leads.

Please let me know how this functionality will work. My client website is running on wordpress (PHP).

Thanks,
Rock

 

You can use APIs such as Clickatel or TM4B. There are however costs involved.

 

Thanks for the reply. Any other available options?

 

You should buy sms gateway for it , or you can use curl to login into free sms site like way2sms in india or you might have other for other countries. But according to me sms gateway is the best way to do it

 

Way2sms? Please let me how could we connect with that site freely to send message?

 

for a free option, if their clients are from within one country, you can pick up major carriers of that country and make use of email-to-sms gateways that most carriers provide. Sending an email to "number at carriersite.com" will push a text message to the mobile. Though you would need to either ask people which carrier's their number is, or just send out to all, and one will fire. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways

 

There is another solution..

www.data24-7.com

They have an api that runs the phone number and spits out the email to text gateway address as well as the carrier and a check to make sure it is a wireless phone.

Run the phone through that and then save that address in the Database and you can send the message just like you send an email to them. Data247 is like .005 cents a look up and a monthly fee. worth looking in to.

 

huh, very nice! wasn't aware such a service exists, thanks
