I am sending SMS by AT commands with GSM mobile phone. I wanna send bulk of message like thousands. I read that by GSM mobile we can send 6-8 sms per minute. But when I send messages then someone are going and someone not. I am getting information from excel file means destination number and message text. Can you tell me why some sms are going and some not. My code is
SmsFields smsObj = null;
List<SmsFields> smsColl = null;
SerialPort serialport = null;
StringBuilder strbuild = new StringBuilder();
try
{
//Validate the form
if (!Validation()) return;
serialport = new SerialPort();
////Sets the properties of serial port object
serialport.PortName = cboPort.SelectedItem.ToString();
serialport.BaudRate = 9600;
serialport.Parity = Parity.None;
serialport.DataBits = 8;
serialport.StopBits = StopBits.One;
serialport.Handshake = Handshake.RequestToSend;
serialport.DtrEnable = true;
serialport.RtsEnable = true;
//Open the port to send sms
serialport.Open();
//Check if port is opened or not
if (!serialport.IsOpen)
{
MessageBox.Show("Serial port is not opened. Please try with other port");
return;
}
//Create smsFields class's object and fill the data in the generic collection
smsObj = SmsFields.Instance;
smsColl = smsObj.FillData(txtFilePath.Text);
if (smsColl == null)
{
MessageBox.Show("No data found in the excel table");
return;
}
//Gets the single record from SmsFields class and sends the message
foreach (SmsFields sms in smsColl)
{
//checks phone status
serialport.WriteLine("AT" + Environment.NewLine);
//Configures message as SMS (0 for PDU format) and (1 for text format)
serialport.WriteLine("AT+CMGF=1" + Environment.NewLine);
//Sets message center number
serialport.WriteLine("AT+CSCA=\"" + txtServiceNo.Text + "\"" + Environment.NewLine);
//Sets destination number
serialport.WriteLine("AT+CMGS=\"" + sms.DestinationNo + "\"" + Environment.NewLine);
//Specifies message and sends Ctrl+z
serialport.WriteLine(sms.Message + (char)26);
//Displays buffer containing output messages
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000);
}
