Hi, I was just wondering would I be able to use the SMS.NOW software to do the following: I need to send a sms to my web page with for example a password. I need to use the password to access some user information on the web page. When I get this user info I need to send a sms reply to the user with some account information?? Is this possible with sms.now and if so how could I do this?? Thanks for your time, James Judge. | |||

Hi James, Yes. We call this type of application a "2-way" SMS application ... meaning that the application both sends and receives SMS. In order to do this, you need an SMSC connection that supports both sending and receiving messages. This can be a GSM modem ... which is a specialised modem device that accepts a SIM card and operates on the mobile network, such as a Siemens MC35 Terminal (external device); or Sierra Wireless Aircard 750 (PC card); or many mobile phones include in-built GSM modem capabilities using a serial or USB cable or bluetooth connection. When NowSMS receives an SMS message, it can be configured to run an external program, or make a connection to an HTTP script that you configure. (The HTTP script runs on a separate web server, so you can use whatever scripting language you prefer, such as ASP, PHP or Perl.) NowSMS passes the details about a received message to the script, and the script can return back a response. The settings are described in some more detail in the following links: http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/2_way_sms_support.htm http://www.nowsms.com/support/bulletins/tb-nowsms-003.htm If I can clarify any questions on this process, please let me know. -bn | |||
