How to avoid overcrowded SMS-gateways ?

 [1/5] from: geza67::freestart::hu at: 9-Jun-2001 17:13


Hi to All REBOLers ! I tried to SMS-"broadcast" with Graham Chiu's excellent CELLPHONE.R / HTTP-TOOLS.R combo, and it was really fun to send a message to cca. 70 recipients with just a few lines of wrap-around. The hack was, though, that the appointed "http://www.b-online.gr" SMS-gateway was very-very overcrowded, even setting the scheme time-out values in the script to astrological values has not stopped it to break the connection several times. I would like your recommendations about alternative SMS-servers, with possible programmatical consequences (i.e. how sould I formulate the cookies / URLs to access their service). Thank you for your precious time to help me Geza Lakner MD

Hi Geza, I'm surprised you got it going. That server stopped working for me a few months ago, or so I thought.

The trouble with a lot of these free sms servers is that they now use Javascript to create hidden values which effectively blocks scripts using their sites. -- Graham Chiu

Hi Graham !

YES ! It worked for me precisely two weeks ago! Only some of the recipients did not receive the message.

:-( Then, the search for the Holy Grail of SMS gateways is not over yet - it just started now! ;-)) Bye Geza Lakner

The link below is to an SMS service with a SOAP interface. Given SOAP with Rebol then you could use that... http://www.salcentral.com/x/smsreg.asp Chris.

Interesting. I just tried out my Rebol/View simplesms client at http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.r and it still works! However, it did take 11 mins from the time of message sending to receive :-( -- Graham Chiu
