Hello Shamil, I looked at providers for a messeging application for an organization we work with. They all charged on a per message basis and we are low/no budget so that wasn't feasible. What I did was to create our messaging database with each persons provider. That way the messages could be sent through each providers sms interface, e.g. AT&T is @txt.att.net. I then use that and the users number to send the messages as I would sending an email from access. I found a web site that had all the providers portal addresses, but for some reason didn't capture the url or can't find where I stored it. My brain does not have a very good search function and what is there only degrades with time. CellProviderID Provider ProviderTextPortal 1 T-Mobile @tmomail.net 2 Virgin Mobile @vmobl.com 3 Cingular @cingularme.com 4 Sprint @messaging.sprintpcs.com 5 Verizon @vtext.com 6 Nextel @messaging.nextel.com 7 US Cellular @email.uscc.net 8 SunCom @tms.suncom.com 9 Powertel @ptel.net 10 AT&T @txt.att.net 11 Alltel @message.alltel 12 PCS @MyMetroPcs.com Hope this helps to some extent. This may not be a satisfactory solution for a business application.
