I am attempting to build a JavaBean which will send SMS messages to cell phones of my customers.
1) Does anyone have experience with using beans in servoy, or better yet, building beans to use in Servoy.
2) Does fellow servoyian have information about SMS java beans, or sending sms messages using a computer and a database?
Sending SMS messages typically requires a gateway provider because each cell phone network has to allow you to send the message.
There are either third party providers or you have to contract with the providers whose networks you want to send through.
The absolute easiest way to send an sms message is to use the carrier's email gateway. For example. My carrier is AT&T. They provide a method for people to send SMS using
xxxxxxxxxx@mobile.att.net (where x is replaced with the cell phone number of the intended target)
I've done a lot of research in this area and there are resources where you could build a bean. But if the networks you are wanting to send messages to are big enough, they will have email to sms gateways that are free. Here is a long list of urls I have found through my research.
