Submitting Data To A Server From Cell Phones

Re:Submitting Data To A Server From Cell Phones by catlike on Sunday December 12, 2010 @02:20PM (#1997718)

in first world countries Cloudvox/Twilio/Tropo can all receive inbound SMS and post the contents to your endpoint. Outside of the first world the costs increase significantly, and I believe both Orange and Clickatel become options to consider.

Cheapest option? You get an unlimited SMS plan on a cellphone that you can download SMS onto a computer from, keep the phone cabled to the computer and process the inbound SMS that what.

That's what we did (basically) before we had HTTP/SIP/SMPP SMS gateways in the cloud.

Thanks for the response, any suggestions on the best way to get the sms from the phone to the computer automatically? There could be hundreds coming through each day.

HTTP/SIP/SMPP SMS gateways in the cloud.....is that a do-able option for me?

Thanks
