• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Hello,

I have been trying to establish the feasability of using Mobiles to get status indicators from a website.

I have never interacted with mobiles before (at least not in the sense of a website).

Roughly what would be needed is for a SMS to be sent with some information (Username, Item ID etc) this needs to reach the site, which will process the information and send back a reply.

Do I need some sort of commercial SMS Gateway or huge infrastructure to pull this off or is it just outright impossible.

Any advice on what would be needed / providers would be usefull.

Thanks
 
Here's an article on how to send sms via a post to a webpage. http://www.phpkitchen.com/index.php?/archives/693-Sending-SMS-Thru-HTTP.html#extended
He recommends tm4b.com. I checked them out real quick and it looks like they let you send messages in the US for about 6 cents a pop. There's alot of people that offer this type of service.

Alternatively you can try using email to send them. I found this site that listed the domains for some carriers. http://www.lifehacker.com/software/cell-phones/send-sms-from-email-127033.php

I tried it using outlook. The message was received, but it stuck all of the lines into the body, includeing the subject. Not sure why, but there's prob a way to fix it.

You might also want to take a look at teleflip.

if you need to receive sms on a pc here's one service for doing it. http://www.sms2email.com/site/sms2email.php
