    Question HELP! Need code to SMS clients !

    Hello
    Greetings from Portugal !

    I have an app in VB6 + Access DB to manage a veterinary clinic. Not commercial just for my own use.

    After several years allways making some small/big alterations, finnally I decided to introduce the hability to send SMS to the clients. Just for marketing or just to remind something else.

    So, I have 2 situations, but seems the same solution.
    First one, send to a specific client a pre-defined text or not.
    Second one, filter on the database some clients and send to all the same message.

    I found 2 (commercial) solutions on the web. But I think the code for a simple sms app it's not so complicated (it's true....i didn't YET writed it)
    I think I need to initialize the modem (in my case a nokia cell phone attached to a COM port)
    Then send the respective AT commands with the number and the message.
    And receive a report of success or not of that delivery.
    Nothing more

    Now, anyone here has some code that can share with me ?

    Kind regards in advance.

    Does your "nokia cell phone attached to a COM port" allow you to use AT commands?
    Did you, at least try to send SMS using this phone and Hyperterminal?

    Suppose, you'd like to send SMS to phone no. +1234343434. You first send to modem
    Code:
    At+CMGS=+1234343434
    Then after you got the response
    Code:
    >
    you send the text adding CtrlZ at the end of message:
    Code:
    Some message to some phoneCtrlZ

    Thank you. I will try it asap.

    I was trying with a nokia N80, because I have the USB communication cable. But each experience I do, the port state goes crazy and I need to restart the laptop again.
    Today I bought an USB-SERIAL adapter to coonect an NOKIA 6310, described as ideal to connect to a PC
    Let's see, I will do your test and I will give you the feedback
    Regards
