How to send SMS in VB.NET

[Vijay]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Good evening to everybody,

I am doing a new project in vb.net to send sms.

I have searched for code in the internet. But , I couldn't find any
useful codes.

I don't want to use any third party tools at cost.

Could anyone have any idea to send SMS in VB.NET.

If you have any Idea , pls share. It will be very helpful to me.

Thanks in advance,

Vijay.

I've done mine using the SmtpMail objects in .net... every cell phone
provider has a way to send sms using e-mails... some have characters
limitations (such as 250 chars max) but it works great... and lists of
domains and e-mail address formats are availlable all over the web...

If you want to send them using a modem, prepare yourself to spend a lot of
time on the protocol...

I hope it helps

Vijay,
You will either need to get a GPRS modem, or use somebody's commercial
gateway. What I do is just send an email to <userphonenumber>@teleflip.com

It's a free service, visit their site for details.

Just a comment on something I found interesting, I tried using
teleflip.com and the message came through on my cellphone as an email,
not as an sms. So the only value add of teleflip just appears to be
that they can route the email to the appropriate provider, it's not a
real SMS gateway....
