Hi Guys,
I've been working on Plan C for quite a while now and I am upto the stage of testing.
Does anyone have any experiance of working with SMS messages? I need a provider that can send messages (based on my HTTPs post/get to them pref) and then recieve messages (based on HTTPs post/get to me pref).
It doesnt need to have it own short code (e.g. 87654) as these are expensive so a normal mobile number will do (virtual number). Cheapness is also preferred...as cheap as going out. 10p or 15p cost to caller coming in.
Also has to have no code before the message e.g. not "SOCK YES" I want them to be able to text "YES". I will get thier id from the phone number.
The technology that this is running on is perl / php based on a mysql backend.
Another idea that was suggested was that I get a mobile phone on contract and hook it up via serial (or better USB as it charges it) or get a PCMCIA gprs card and use that ... but I really dont feel the need to try and write socket based stuff to interface with it (and possibly a driver) as this is running on a unix box (FreeBSD).
Suggestions for who is good / not good.
Cheers
Richard
