Hi all, I'm planning to do a sms-coupon site for my university project. I have a rough idea how it works but no the full gamut. I would like to seek the any expert advice here. my questions: 1) If i am going to use a bulk sms provider, how would my database be linked to their sms sending service? How do i send the mobile numbers to their service? Do they provide any API? 2) If i intend to use my own sms modem, what do i need? An sms gateway? Are there any good open source sms gateway out there? 3) Also, I have a website that will allow users who wish to receive sms-coupons to sign up. How then can i link this users (database) to my sms function? I know I sound very stupid by asking these questions, but i really need to know so i know where to start for my project. Danny
1) If i am going to use a bulk sms provider, how would my database be linked to their sms sending service? How do i send the mobile numbers to their service? Do they provide any API? Code (markup): By Using Service called API 4 Eample api.smsgatewayname.com/?userid=yourusername&pass=yourpass&from=fromnameornumber&to=tonumber&msg=mesaageinascii u can use api connection from your server i use this service in my site up4sms.com
