Hi: Say I want to build an IVR application which sends an SMS message to a mobile telephone when the caller responds to a prompt in certain way. I think I can manage the part about generating the message and building something to actually send it. The part I'm foggy about is: how would I actually get the SMS message to the carrier? Discussions with the carrier have led absolutely nowhere (they are not interested in helping an individual customer and technical staff Tiers I and II have no idea what I am talking about). Are there SMS aggregators that I could use for sending messages to this particular phone over the Internet? Thanks for any input. -Stephen-
by your .ca address I assume your in Canada.. both Telus and Rogers have a email-to-SMS gateway...
