Know-How Exchange : E-Marketing

Sorry you aren't getting many responses... maybe folks don't understand what you are looking for. Can you be more specific in what you are trying to do?

For example, are you trying to send SPAM messages to promote your business? Are you trying to provide integration services to incorporate this technology into client networks? Are you trying to study or to promote the concept of SMS in general? Are you trying to better integrate your own team?

And, by the way, it might also help if we knew what country and market you are in. Thanks.


p.s. - For those of us (such as myself) who were not sure what SMS is, here is a definition from www.whatis.com and www.searchmobilecomputing.com:

SMS (Short Message Service) is a service for sending messages of up to 160 characters (224 characters if using a 5-bit mode) to mobile phones that use Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication. GSM and SMS service is primarily available in Europe. SMS is similar to paging. However, SMS messages do not require the mobile phone to be active and within range and will be held for a number of days until the phone is active and within range. SMS messages are transmitted within the same cell or to anyone with roaming service capability. They can also be sent to digital phones from a Web site equipped with PC Link or from one digital phone to another. Typical uses of SMS include:

* Notifying a mobile phone owner of a voicemail message
* Notifying a salesperson of an inquiry and contact to call
* Notifying a doctor of a patient with an emergency problem
* Notifying a service person of the time and place of their next call
* Notifying a driver of the address of the next pickup

An SMS gateway is a Web site that lets you enter an SMS message to someone within the cell served by that gateway or that acts as an international gateway for users with roaming capability.
