Hi RAMESHBABU

You can use skype to send SMS's - you have to set up an account and purchase some credit -

smsskype(cPhone,cNotes)
MsgWait('Sending Message ' + str(i,3),'Sending SMS',2)
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------//
function smsskype(t_sms,t_mess)
// send an SMS (if enough credit on skype account)
// return 1 : SMS delivered, 0 : SMS failed
// Skype Version 3 installation required on local machine (2.5 ?) or Skype4com DLL

// t_sms : mobile number format +(country code)(mobilenumber) e.g. '+32691348192' no spaces or other caracters allowed
Local oSkype,oSMS,nRet := 1,i := 0,lRunning := TRUE

Try
oSkype := CreateObject("SKYPE4COM.Skype", "Skype_")
Catch
MsgInfo("No Skype4Com installed")
nRet := 0
End
If empty(t_sms)
nRet := 0 // empty phone number
endif
If ! oSkype:Client:IsRunning()
oSkype:Client:Start()
lRunning := FALSE
else

Endif

if lRunning
//if MsgYesNo('Send Message')
Try
oSMS := oSkype:SendSms(t_sms, t_mess) // generic
Catch
MsgInfo('fail')
nRet := 0
End

   //? oSms:Id() // actual ID of SMS

   For i := 1 to 30  // try for max. 30 seconds for sending 1 SMS and waiting for answer from operator

      //  MsgWait(,oSkype:Convert:SmsMessageStatusToText(oSms:Status),2)

      If oSms:Status()=2  // delivered
         Exit
      Endif

      inkey(1)

   next
//endif

If oSms:Status()<>2 // not delivered
MsgAlert('SMS probably failed !')
nRet := 0 // erreur SMS
Else
//MsgAlert("Message delivered successfully !",,,3)
Endif
endif

// => List all SMS
// For Each oSms In oSkype:Smss()
// ? oSms:Id() //Sms Id
// ? oSms:Timestamp() // time (date)
// ? oSms:Type() // type
// ? oSkype:Convert:SmsMessageTypeToText(oSms:Type) // p. ex. originated
// ? oSms:Status() //status
// ? oSkype:Convert:SmsMessageStatusToText(oSms:Status) // p.ex. delivered
// ? oSms:FailureReason() //failure reason
// ? oSms:IsFailedUnseen() //failed unseen
// ? oSms:Price() //price
// ? oSms:PricePrecision() //price precision
// ? oSms:PriceCurrency() //price currency
// ? oSms:ReplyToNumber() //reply to number
//Next

//inkey(0)

oSkype := Nil
return(nRet)

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

Hope this helps

Mr.Colin

Thanks for your reply. I will try Skype.
Do you have any idea whether we can send bulk SMS with Skype ?
