Hey folks,
How would one go about sending an SMS via a webapplication to someone in pakistan.
The application should be able to send an SMS to a pakistani cellphone #. It would be easy if cell’s in pakistan had an email associated with them as they do in the US, but how would we do it for a number itself ?
Re: Sending SMS via a webapplication
You can look into getting credits on SMS gateways.. services like clickatell.com might be able to provide with an api to send sms through your web application,
to be honest i haven't looked into Pakistan but for North America its quite expensive .. good luck
Re: Sending SMS via a webapplication
There's a lot of free sms providers for north america. None for pakistan as far as ive found. Its pretty expensive to send sms to pakistan.
For US/Canada one can simply send sms to the email addresses associated with the phone as i said above.
Re: Sending SMS via a webapplication
That website is not a webservice. I cannot, except with some very crafty programming interface with it and send sms. Its not designed for the kind of activity i have in mind.
So far the webservices i have found are expensive.
Re: Sending SMS via a webapplication
i can write you a web service that can send messages to paktel/instaphone/mobilink and may be for telenor,warid and ufone as well.
but that will cost you.
PM me.

if u know any coldfusion programming, coldfusion provides a very easy to use interface for SMS.
Re: Sending SMS via a webapplication
as a matter of fact … smspk.com … connects you to the website of mobile service providers … e.g for mobilink .. it takes you to
or u can go directly to the mobile company site yourself.
