sms software development

I want to give SMS support for my application. I have all hardware support
(i.e. Nokia card modem and everything). I want to communicate with my modem
using some AT commands like AT+CMSS (for sending SMS messages). When I tried
using AT+CMSS is not at all responding, but other commands like reading address
book storing into SIM memory and everything is working. I don't the reason.
Any initalization procedure I've to do or not?. What are the AT commands
initalization step I've to do.

If anybody knows please inform me.

Advance thanks

Hi !
I think that you have problem with SMS message format.
Check with AT+CMGF? for message format settings. Values are 0-PDU mode, 1-text
mode.
You should chose between them.
I am using Ericsson GSM terminal that have only PDU format.
To send SMS message in PDU format you have to do the following.
AT+CMGS=<length>
SMS message in PDU format <ctrl-z>
Can you tell me more about application that you are developing.
By the way, if you want to try with SMS in PDU format I can code some messages
for you!
I am interested will they work in America, it would save me the trip there
:-).

# 6 Re: sms software development
hi sanja,

was going through the conversation relating to sms.
sanja, i have a nokia mobile phone connected to com 2 .

i just want to pass a simple at command and get the ok response from the
modem.

for that i have given
mscomm1.openport = true
mscomm1.output= "AT" +chr(13)

and in mscomm1_oncomm() event i have written
Dim Buffer As Variant
Buffer = MSComm1.Input
msgbox "Receive - " & StrConv(Buffer, vbUnicode)

from the example vbterm.

i thought that the msgbox should respond by giving "Receive OK".

sanja, just give me a code to connect to my mobile phone and get a response
of ok, just like in windows hyperterminal...

thanks a lot in advance
bye for now
best regards
jyothi

# 11 Re: sms software development
Why develop sms software from scratch ?

We have a web service [OPEN air-cast] which gives an application sms capability
easily.
It also supports the usual ringtones, logos, vcards etc

This web service can be used by anything which can use HTTP to send an sms
anywhere in the world.

For more info see http://www.5thfinger.com/corporate/productservices.asp

# 13 Re: sms software development
It is always recommended to use PDU mode rather than text mode to send sms through gsm modems because it gives compatability when you go for SMPP (directly transfers to smsc through tcp). Also smart messaging (picture message, ringtone, etc...) and unicode can be easily integrated to your application in future.

You can check this site for basic understanding of PDU format.

http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/

Be careful when u use Microsoft communication control. It has some problem with windows 2003 (refer: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=838291) also cant go more than 16 serial ports..

best of luck

Any developer planning to implement SMS in their programs should check out the PSWinCom SMS Gateway.

It is rock solid and flexible, and even has an affiliate program, that gives developers direct payments from messages sent from their application.

Use PDUSpy to help encode/decode your SMS. I've used it for my SMS work, it's a freeware but very reliable. :-)
