text messaging app: how to receive msgs via a phone #
Hi there.
I’d like to set up a text messaging application where I can receive text messages on my server via a phone #. For example:
Ӣ I advertise: send a text message to 800-555-5555 to sign up
Ӣ User sends a text message to the above number
”¢ The user’s text message is received/processed by my server side application
I’ve heard that this can be accomplished via a Nokia phone and some kind of serial connection to my server. However, I’m wondering how it’s done on a large scale – like by TV shows like American Idol. Is it through a particular configuration in partnership with the wireless carrier - or is there an easier way?
Thanks,
Ben
