Can anybody tell me that how a message will send on phone from a desktop application. I have a module in which i have to send sms to my user's mobile i do not how it is possible can anybody tell how this is possible
You could hook into 3rd party software, for example: http://www.textanywhere.net/
Note: these are paid services.
you need some kind of sms gateway in order to achieve this but gateways are not free they are paid services. how ever you can also use gsm modem to achieve this.

I am developing a web application in asp.net in which i want to send sms on mobile phones using GSM Modem. For this purpose I need some help or API for sending sms. If anyone have such experience in this field then kindly share with me and provide me some tutorial links or personal help.
Thanks in advance
Regards
I've used:
GSMComm
And the commercial product:
MessagingToolkit
Both worked reasonably well.
Use an SMS gateway software which will provide you an HTTP interface for communicating with the SMS carrier medium. For the applications it is easier to interact using the application layer protocols like HTTP instead of going into the details of the SMS protocols. Refer to the following post for more details. https://stackoverflow.com/a/8034756/676803
I am trying to develop the application which, any mobile is connected with PC and needs to send SMS through the mobile one by one, software is used only to connect the mobile and type the message.
When the send button is clicked the message should send through mobile not through any modems.
I have tried to search everywhere, but I couldn't find anything.
Can anybody guide me on how to proceed?
Thanks in advance.
If you want to do it on your own without using a sms-library you can open the modem in handset through a serial port and send out hayes at-commands for sms-operation.
Before you program you can try it using a terminal program.
Example
; Send message to "0170 00000" (Ctrl+Z to finish and send the message)
AT+CMGS="017000000"
> This is a SMS Test!!^Z
+CMGS: 3 ; OK, message gone
Note: these at-commands are not supported on every handset. Maybe the handset needs additional configuration through extra at commands (set textmode, set sms-gateway, ...)
Several sms hayes related commands are described in http://www.cellular.co.za/at_etsi.htm .
Yes, absolutely you can send sms through your pc connected with your cell phones. "Nokia PC Suite" is the only software; after installing software in your computer, connect your Nokia handset by usb cable with computer and select pc suite option. After then launch Nokia PC Suite. Now there u go.
What you are trying to do is difficult. It is difficult not because the programming is difficult, but because there are restrictions (security!) from the carrier side and from the mobile manufacturer side.
To be able to send messages from a mobile device connected to a PC, the mobile device must provide access to the internal functions its OS uses to deliver those SMSs. They could be low level modem commands, or a high level API; but in any case it will depend on the device manufacturer SDK.
If you want to type more efficiently, then maybe a mobile device with support for a bluetooth keyboard is a good idea.
I guess that depends strongly on the used mobile phone. I don't think there's a generic solution for all manufacturers. And such feature is probably hardly documented.
However, I'm not sure, if this is worth the effort at all, because e.g. Nokia provides the software "Ovi Suite" (or older PC Suite), which already supports sending SMS via connected phone. I think there are similar programs from other manufacturers.
It is possible to send SMS from a computer via a connected phone, but the phone itself will be the modem (I assume you don't want to connect another device for SMS). You can see this question, this question and (possibly) GSMComm for more info
I suppose to develop sms application(basically send\receive) using c# 4.0.In this i wish to use NOKIA 6630 phone as the GSM moderm.i have two problems here.
1)could any one tell me a better free sms gateway for this?
2)is nokia 6630 have gsm mordem?.
i m heavily appreciated with your answers.
Not sure what do you mean by free sms gateway here when you are using your phone.
6630 has a modem. So you can use it. If you can have PC suite (or Ovi suite) in your pc, you should visit these links:
http://www.emant.com/index.php?tid=681002
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/bd896b31-92ba-4624-aa9d-ebf732e7cc0d/Nokia_PC_Suite_Connectivity_API_1_1.html
If you do not want PC Suite and want to develop stand alone application, you need to send sms using AT command. You need to use the SerialPort class for this.
In order to use your phone as a GSM Modem connect to it as if you are connecting to a Serial Port. (There are drivers which adapt USB to Serial Port. Your phone drivers might do this).
Once you manage to connect to it you can send commands such as AT+CNMI (to receive) and AT+CMGS (to send).
You might want to connect via hyperterminal to try it out first before you program it.
A good tutorial is here.
You have one good choice to install one sms Gateway for eg. NowSMS gateway to send or receive messages. Its good one and all the related help for installation and configuration is given here http://www.nowsms.com/doc/installing-nowsms
But one problem you had while using this gateway for receiving messages you need to change your mobile phone as not supported this feature for nowsms gateway.
I want to write an app that sends an SMS to users, and when the recipients texts back, I receive that response, including the originating phone number, and my program can react to that response.
I've googled "Interactive SMS" but didn't find anything that was clearly a fit. Has anyone else done this, got any recommendations for a paid service that provides this kind of functionality?
Alternatively, do you have any other recommendations for how to build this service into my app, which will probably be written in C#?
Find an SMS service provider that gives you an API you can use (e.g. an HTTP API). Then read their documentation.
You need to learn about SMPP (short message peer to peer) protocol. Is the protocol usually used to communicate with carrier's SMSC (Short Message Service Center). Here's a blog entry summarizing the actual status of some C# SMPP libraries. If you don't want to use an existing .NET library, you can always write your own. SMPP is not a very complex protocol after all.
An alternative might be attach your application to a cell phone, and if that cell phone provides you with an API, use it to send and receive texts. The problem here is that it won't scale if your application expects to send and receive hundreds of thousands of text messages per day.
Yet another alternative will be to use a CARRIER AGGREGATOR company that provides you with an API for your application. There are some out there, but I don't know if they will be able to offer you a short code and the possibility to receive texts in your application. Depending on the market you are targeting, you should do a little bit of research on how other VAS companies do it over there.
You can use the TextMarks API for this. It's REST-based and super simple to use. So simple that Harvard uses it to teach new students how to use APIs. Docs here.
Messages routed to you from a user are called MO messages (Mobile Originated) and most 3rd party SMS gateways implement simple api's whereby they will simply HTTP post you incoming messages (including the originators msisdn and home network).
For example http://www.clickatell.com/products/two_way.php
Search the site for SMS Gateways for others.
Check SMS Studio - guys have done a lot on that subject and maybe you can use of-the-shelve software or customize it a little to suit your needs.
If not, at least you can find some good keywords for googling.
Anyway, you will have a choice - either go with SMS gateway, or for low volume SMS traffic, you can go with GSM Modem and handle it manually, though it's not recommended.
I ve developed a c# winforms application for sending sms by using this article of Sending sms using GSM It works pretty well... Now i want to send sms using GSM communication (ie) a mobile phone connected to PC and i have detect it and send sms using it in asp.net.....
Is it possible Connecting and sending message through GSM modem using asp.net?
Of course you can! The only point is that, as ASP.NET is a server side programming, the GSM modem will have to be connected to the server running the app. Even, your already developed code can be reused. Put that code as an assembly with public interface to get the functionalities. Include it in the ASP.NET app and you can send SMS.
There should be no difference if your app is a regular console/winforms app or whether it's an ASP.NET app.
You would just want to be a bit more security-conscious if anyone on the internet is able to connect to your website and send messages...
Yes. You could create a Windows service that contains the logic for accessing the GSM modem and sending SMS messages. This service can then be access from your ASP.NET web application.
There are lots of articles out there on running a WCF service as a Windows service, here's one on MSDN, Hosting and Consuming WCF Services.
But on second thought, setting up a service may be overkill here. You could use your library from within your app just as fine.
You can do it as mentioned by Kangkan in his answer. You will need to connect your modem to the server which is less feasible and very much less recommended to do so. The best option you can have is to subscribe to a third-party SMS gateway and send SMS through their HTTP apis. There are many such providers available that provide this kindaa service. Just google them and you'll find the one that best suits your needs.
