Solved: Sending SMS

[myers_co]

Anybody here have any experience sending SMS text messages via VBA? I want to send an SMS message based on receiving an email from selected individuals or having specific content in the subject line. I know I can fire a script or perform a custom action through the rules. I just don't know how to do the SMS portion.

Don't most carriers provide you with an email address to receive messages on your phone? Or specify an email address format for text messages?

For example, T-Mobile is #phonenumber#@tmomail.net (#phonenumber#@tmomail.net) so if your number is 212-555-1212 then the SMS number is 2125551212@tmomail.net.

All you would need to do is send an email and it should be converted to SMS by the carrier.

Just tried it with my phone (T-Mobile) and it worked.

good stuff, does this work with HTML email as well or plain text only?

[myers_co]

SMS is text only.

[steve_flash]

right. what I meant was if HTML will be rejected, stripped from tags or sent as HTML raw code

I sent a HTML message and it was converted to plain text. In other words, it was as if I had sent a plain text message in the first place.
