fiveworlds Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) How do I send sms? I want the computers on my network to be able to send and receive sms messages. To other computers on my network and to the other network providers how do I do this? Edited May 4, 2015 by fiveworlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Every provider have different method. Some allows people to use sms web gateways. If yours is doing it, you can simulate what web browser does, and send message. ps. It used to be much easier several years ago. But people abused it to send spam (at least here), and mobile phone companies, highly restricted this service..

fiveworlds Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Every provider have different method. As in a phone company there are only 4 cellphone providers here and they basically have a monopoly and none of them are owned by anybody from our country. Some allows people to use web gateways How does that work exactly? I tried a few before but none of them worked for me.

Sensei Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) It would be much easier for you to write app for Android, which will be downloading website every couple seconds/minutes, and informing about change on phone screen. Website is yours, generated automatically by PHP. You send info to server, PHP server is generating website, and mobile phone is periodically checking website change.. If you have iPhone/iOS you're doomed. Apple is disallowing to upload proprietary software to device AFAIK. Exclusively through their store. So they will most likely disallow you to upload app to their iStore that only you will be using.. As in a phone company there are only 4 cellphone providers here and they basically have a monopoly and none of them are owned by anybody from our country. ? That does not matter whether they're foreign or not. We have T-Mobile, but T-Mobile in UK or Germany website most likely wouldn't work with our cell number (website sms gate).. Check whether your provider is supporting website sending sms.. Did you ever send any sms through Internet using browser as client.. ? What is URL of your provider? How does that work exactly? I tried a few before but none of them worked for me. Well, you have to simulate exactly what browser does. There is needed perfect understanding of HTTP protocol to do it..

fiveworlds Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Did you ever send any sms through Internet using browser as client.. ? Using web-text provided by my phone company. But they have their own page for it on their website and I didn't see any way of me using that from a php script. There is needed perfect understanding of HTTP protocol to do it.. And a GSM/3G network licence. Since I can't just transmit radio signals around here. I also would have to transmit within a particular frequency range. I doubt the telephone companies design the routers themselves I would imagine they have somebody make them. But I have no idea who makes them. Since the only difference between the four companies is a GSM sim card the GSM card manufacturer probably provides the routers/antennas too.

Website has to "think", yours script is real web browser.. You don't want to reveal what is URL, so can't help more specific.. And a GSM/3G network licence.

I doubt the telephone companies design the routers themselves I would imagine they have somebody make them. But I have no idea who makes them. I have no idea what are you talking about.. There is no needed any license to send sms.. ps. PHP allows BSD low-level programming of TCP/IP sockets http://php.net/manual/en/book.sockets.php So, you can send/receive very low-level packets. But this requires knowledge.. Edited May 5, 2015 by Sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiveworlds Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) There is no needed any license to send sms.. Here we need to license any radio frequencies we transmit. So if I wanted to transmit any kind of radio signal outside of my own home I need a license for it. Also some ranges are used already so I can only use frequencies that are not already in use. This is from the times when we had pirate radio stations the law was implemented to shutdown illegal broadcasting and is still in effect today. Typical SMS gateway is using HTTP POST request. Yes that would be standard considering post would be more secure. If it helps my php server can already send and receive email messages and the socket is hosted on port 8080.

fiveworlds Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Your phone is not going to transmit some illegal radio frequency signals.. Yes it does the current phone companies are registered to only use certain frequency ranges. for instance Telephonica uses 1965–1980 MHz / 2155–2170 MHz (2 x 15 MHz) Oh and I thought there was four companies but telephonica here was sold as was one of the other license holder so there is only 2 cellphone providers here.

Strange Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Yes it does the current phone companies are registered to only use certain frequency ranges. for instance Your phone is only going to transmit of licensed frequencies. (Unless you are planning to build your own transmitter that uses unlicensed frequencies. Which would be a bit pointless as there would be nothing to receive it.) Contact the telecom companies and ask how much it costs for a web gateway. This is provided as a commercial service (e.g. as used by your company). If this is for your company (who apparebtly already subscribe to such a service) then you just need to get the documentation.

fiveworlds Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Your phone is only going to transmit of licensed frequencies. Telephonica's frequencies would be unlicensed now since one company is not allowed to hold multiple frequency ranges. But that would be paperwork.
