sending sms in PHP

**asp_funda** · Oct 1, 2003 02:44

but I don't need it for any client. I just need it to put up on a fun site that's offering a lot of free services like e-greetings, jokes, horoscopes etc. just to let visitors send sms without using up the credits that's left in their mobile cards.

Still, you are going to waste time on using any "free" services. Free SMS is like free web hosting - there is really no such thing - somone always foots the bill.

SMS Everywhere Messaging API

http://api.smseverywhere.com/

The website says:
Using the API developers can create their own messaging applications using the language of their choice following the guidelines below.

Hint: if you want to learn how to use xml services this is a good place to tinker around.

Just for the record, unless you have a quite large volume, RedCoal is cheaper. They also offer a web service interface, like Smseverywhere does.

**marcel** · Oct 1, 2003 07:13

Hmm redcoal seems to allow more countries too.

**Dr Livingston** · Oct 1, 2003 07:25

Exactly

...which is a viable solution...

**M. Johansson** · Oct 1, 2003 07:50

Another similiar service I've heard good things about is www.clickatell.com

**asp_funda** · Oct 3, 2003 04:07

the http://api.smseverywhere.com/ sounds good till the site don't get too much traffic. Ok, so now I've told my client that he's gotta pay for this thing unless he's happy with the 30/month limit.

So what's the cheap one out there?? RedCoal?? or any other??

**Tryst** · Oct 3, 2003 09:45

It depends really on how many bulk messgaes U buy, the larger the volume, the cheap the cost to send a message.

That I know, the bigger the bulk, the cheaper its gonna be but all service providers are not charging the same amount, now are they??

So if we take on a few of them on the comparison chart, who's gonna be cheap yet the service acceptably good??

**Tryst** · Oct 4, 2003 08:51

Surely thats your jobs to check the prices of each service provider!?!?

Simply go to the neccessary websites and compare. We dont need to do that for you do we?

We dont need to do that for you do we?

You have to wonder though with some folks...

**asp_funda** · Oct 6, 2003 04:27

No but its just a matter of recommendation like M. Johansson recommended ReadCoal & Clickatell, so are there anymore anyone would like to recommend??

**Dr Livingston** · Oct 6, 2003 08:03

Not really IMO; I put forwards RedCoal from experience and I assume like wise for M Johansson ?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with RedCoal and as I see it this would be your best option but if anyone else has a recommendation I'd be interested as well

Just to see how someone else can top RedCoal I suppose

**asp_funda** · Oct 8, 2003 12:04

Yeah there was a recommendation for www.clickatell.com by M Johansson but most of the people who have posted on this topic have recommended RedCoal.

I think that I should give it a try. Does it give a free demo of its service so as to give an idea to new clients.

**Dr Livingston** · Oct 8, 2003 12:10

Contratulations on arriving at this decision... Finally

**asp_funda** · Oct 9, 2003 00:55

Yeah Finally
