Im anxious to know how can I send free bulk sms messages through the web. Are there any free services out there or can I build one on a machine that's connected to the internet?
Will local telephone companies, as receivers, tax me for sending messages?
Thanks.
Yes, it is possible to send SMS messages free, and it turned out, that recently in several countries the mobile network operators have updated their pricing policy to offer unlimited SMS messages in some data plans. In some cases unlimited messages are not available, but they don't charge anything for the first two or three thousand SMS messages sent per month. These data plans are available for standard mobile phone subscriptions, but they can also be used if you have setup an Ozeki NG SMS Gateway system on your computer.
You can use this opportunity to build interesting solutions, for example you can send SMS from your database, or from Microsoft Excel, Outlook, etc. Check out these documents:

Building a C# program that will send text messages to customers that opt in to getting text messages. Does anyone know the gateway for Spectrum Mobile?
When I tried to obtain this info from Spectrum Mobile, their "technical" line folks said they do not support MMS --- not true! I just learned and tested these gateways for Spectrum Mobile today:
SMS message: phonenumber#vtext.com (same as Verizon)
MMS message: phonenumber#mypixmessages.com
MMS may be used to send long messages and/or embedded or attached photo from email, and it works just as well as Verizon's MMS for long text messages.
I ran into the same issue with a customer. I called Spectrum but was unable to get through since I am not a customer. I had the customer on Spectrum Mobile do a test on the Verizon gateway and he had success.
From what I have read, Spectrum Mobile uses Verizon predominately and I read that they may also use Sprint towers in some regions. I suggest you test on Verizon's gateway and it doesn't work maybe try Sprint's.
Verizon SMS: xxx-xxx-xxxx#vtext.com
Verizon MMS: xxx-xxx-xxxx#vzwpix.com
Sprint SMS: xxx-xxx-xxxx#messaging.sprintpcs.com
Sprint MMS: xxx-xxx-xxxx#pm.sprint.com
Hope that helps someone else out there.
I just moved from Verizon Wireless to Spectrum Mobile, and was looking for the same information. I checked:
Sprint gateways rejected
Verizon SMS gateway #vtext.com works
Verizon MMS gateway #vzwpix.com DOESN'T WORK
Text only! Very inconvenient.
I'll call them when I have a chance.
Sorry guys... I just called Spectrum and they do not have a SMS service. So, no email to text service with them.
This is bad news for me. My GPS security uses email to send text to my phone for movement alerts. I can't get the text now. UGH.

I have Server1 (Publishing server which has source code), Server 2 (Deployment server) and Clients machine which already has applications used and pointing to Server2. Would like to move this server 2 to new server and remove the server2. I do not want to change it manually in the client's systems. And this server 2 and new server are going to hold different IP addresses. How can i change the server 2 to new server. Please some one suggest me a solution ASAP.
Thanks :)
If you are using click-once deployment, you can change the DNS of the domain to point to the second server, and put the files in the same virtual path, There should be no problems.

Im looking at implementing a tablet game, and am considering various solutions for the gaming server side of things.
The game basically loops through a set of states, which trigger message events to be sent to clients. Message sending is done via another API. So the event listener delegates to the message sender on a particular event.
Another listener handles the incoming parts, but im only concerned with sending raising events on state changes.
I have looked at JMS and Spring events, i like spring events as they are neat and tidy, however not sure how they would cope on a server. JMS seems large and since im only listeneing to internal events most of the time, not sure how they would work if things changed.. hummm
Speaking of spring, you could like the AspectJ. Aspect-oriented way of handling events is described in a pretty nice way in "Spring in Action" book.
Spring AOP could help you.

How to send group sms using AT command?
In general, you can't. SMS PDUs are addressed to one number only; if you use your phone to compose a message to a group of people it actually creates a copy of the PDU for each recipient.
Unless you have access to a number that will take a received message and forward it to a group, you are out of luck I'm afraid.
this website has some good details of how to do it with hyperterminal or kermit
http://www.developershome.com/sms/howToSendSMSFromPC.asp
it works pretty well. although if your going to send a bunch of messages you should use some software that understands how to talk to the modem.

works great.

Given the account and password, how to obtain the contact list of that account in msn? Are there any msn api can do this? Or I have to use the account and password to login and obtain the contact list.
Is there a particular programming language that you wish to use?
There appears to be a PHP Class. You could also use something like libpurple to connect to the MSN network and download the list.
Officially the msn protocol isn't specified. But some people have been reverse enginering the protocol.
It's not an easy protocol, as you have to connect to several server before you have everything you need.
Note however that when microsoft changes the protocol again and drops old versions, you have to wait before the new protocol version is deciphered.
