Incoming SMS - redirect to server via HTTP

Question

Hi

I am looking for a windows application which will receive SMS via a GSM modem. The application needs to forward the 'raw' PDU via HTTP Post to a page on our server. The app needs to deal receive a confirmation reciept from our server and deal with undelivered PDU strings.

I would be happy for someone to quote for building this straightforward application.

Thanks CKxion

Answer 1

I think playSMS will provide all the functionality you describe. Although I have not used this myself, looking at the home page gives the impression of a mature product with many features.

This program is developed for Linux, but I think all the required components are available through Cygwin.

Answer 2

I know of several services that provide you with incoming SMS and redirect it using HTTP to a server/API which you define. It's all online and I'm not aware of any software that does it through your own modem though. I remember we've briefly looked into that on a project two years ago but then decided to outsource the process.

Let me know if you'd like a couple pointers and I'll extend my answer.
