5.00 out of 5
Introduction

This project was done for the completion of my  UG Degree in Computer Science and past two years it was in the industry for commercial use. And  i like to remember Mr Shefeek MJ in this occasion for his innovative support for developing SMS gateway.[ Now he is working for wipro technologies as a project engineer] .

SMS Gateway


SMS gateway is an ex-changer of data from two different network protocols.it  is a telecommunications network facility for sending or receiving Short Message Service (SMS) transmissions to or from a telecommunications network that supports SMS. Most messages are eventually routed into the mobile phone networks. Many SMS gateways support media conversion from email and other formats.

Description

To send SMS from your pc you should need the following components .

  • A PC with USB or Parallel ports enabled.
  • A GSM Modem [ A GSM Mobile with Data cable or Bluetooth connected ] support AT Commands
  • ASP.net [.net frame 3.5 installed ]
What we are doing is ,
  • converting our text to Wireless format ie first convert the data into pdu[ Packet data unit ---> it must have a format
  • Message center number in the format --> Octet
  • Message in the format - HEX  and we have to encode data .
[For PDU Format specifications see my website http://www.memcpy.in/2012/12/sms-and-pdu-format.html].

 //The Function of this class is to generate PDU message from the available data
    //Input to this class = Message Centre NUmber,Receiver Number,Message in text format
    //Output  = SMS in pdu format
    //Functions in this class //1.SendMessage(string receiver, string msg)  ---->Entry point to this class
  1.  //2 .GeneratePdu(string receiver, string msg) ----> Generates SMS in PDU format using the other                    functions
  2.  //3.MessageToHex(string message)------>Function to convert message to Hexadecimal 8-bit octets
  3.  //4.getOctet(string receiver)-------->Function to Encrypt Receiver and Message Centre Number(SemiOctet)
  4. //5.SendToSMSEngine(string pdu,int length)----->Exit point from this class.It passes the final SMS in the                     PDU format to the SMS Engine

            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }
            return returnreceive;
        }
    }
}

Conclusion
 You people can use this by satisfying all regulations and rules from TRAI [Telecom Regulatory Authority of India]. if you are using this in india

To work this code fine it needs another class called SMSCOMMS-  Try to develope this from your side . That class contains AT Commands and use of AT Commands . This is also required to send sms .
