Send/ Receive SMS messages

[Mark]

Hi all, about 2 years ago I wrote a small utility that was used to send and
receive SMS messages via a mobile phone (3rd party COM object as used as
interface). I now have to write another program that does pretty much the
same thing.

My old program simply sent and received SMS messages via a Nokia phone
connected to the computer running the utility.

I now have to write the same type program and instead of using a cellphone
connected to a computer was wondering if there was a better way to do this
in Dot Net..

Thanks for your help

Mark,

There isn't a better way (at least, out of the box). If anything, I
would use COM interop to send the messages, just as you did before, and do
everything else using .NET.

Hope this helps.
