could anyone provide me with some example of the GSM modem that can send SMS and as well as MMS at the same time... (ie. can switch mode automatically).. since as per Bryce posting said that only Sierra Wireless AirCard 750 can do that... if i am using PC what should i do? | |||

Hi Sandy, I haven't seen any. It is conceivable that in addition to the way that the Sierra Wireless card implements this (via a network driver that can be used simultaneously with the modem driver), that a modem could support this with a sophisticated modem driver that virtualised a COM port into two separate COM ports (this seems to be what the Option PC card sold as "Vodafone Connect" tries to do but with limited success). But I have not seen any external GSM/GPRS modems that have attempted to do this. So for external modems, you may have to live with the mode switching. | |||

If you are referring to our Now SMS/MMS Gateway, the API is HTTP based. So you generate HTTP requests from your application to send messages. Here are some links on this HTTP interface: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/sending_messages/sendin g_text_messages.htm http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/sending_messages/url_pa rameters_for_sending_messages.htm I don't have a VB example, but I have a JScript example, and I believe that you would access the same ActiveX objects from VB. function HTTPGET(strURL) { var strResult; try { // Create the WinHTTPRequest ActiveX Object. var WinHttpReq = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP" /* or "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5"*/); // Create an HTTP request. var temp = WinHttpReq.Open("GET", strURL, false); // Send the HTTP request. WinHttpReq.Send(); // Retrieve the response text. strResult = WinHttpReq.ResponseText; } catch (objError) { strResult = objError + "\n" strResult += "WinHTTP returned error: " + (objError.number & 0xFFFF).toString() + "\n\n"; strResult += objError.description; } // Return the response text. return strResult; } WScript.Echo(HTTPGET("http://server.address:port/?PhoneNumber=recipientPhoneNumber&User=user&password= password&text=Test+message")); | |||
