SMS - Short Message Service [is that right?]
Does anyone have code to send text messages from a Tcl program to a cell phone?
Zarutian 26. may 2005: I wrote a little proc to send a SMS message to a cell phone sometime ago but I cant find it now. It was realy simple. It used an form on a cell phone provider's website. Mind you it could only send SMS message to Icelandic cell phones. Maybe I will figure it out again, during the weekend or after the weekend ;-)
A/AK 26-may-2005: gsm contains code for sending SMS message with a cell phone that must be connected to PC.
CellMessenger [L1 ] is a program for sending and receiving SMS, written in TCL. It's shareware, but its licence permits free code reuse.
These tools don't use any country- or operator-specific web forms, they work with a mobile phone via COM (RS-232), USB, or IrDA connection.
Zarutian 27. may 2005: But if you dont have an mobile phone handyly connected to your computer, a script that uses operator or country spefic web form(s) is better than nothing, yes?
A procedure, say called, send_SMS could switch on the country code of the phone number and then, if applieable, on operator/area prefix to find the correct webform to use.
