OpenSource .net SMS library, I can't seem to find one at all for C# [closed]

Answer 1

Since, you are not looking for just a client library, you need to deploy your own SMS gateway. This is what you need

Answer 2

If you are planning to use a local phone/gsm modem via serial you can use the following.

Local serial sending will be quite slow and not good for high volume sending of messages. If you need to send high volume of sms you will need to use some sort of sms gateway.

Answer 3

I accually wrote my own SMS library in C#, back in 2005. My aim was to create a commercial library out of it, but it just never happened; besides this is probably my 1000 th project that has never been released... Anyway I decided to change that - because of this question - and will now start to release much of my superfine code under MIT license (free, free, free).

Anyway, as I said, I wrote most of the code in 2005, but did some heavy refactoring to it about a year ago, so it should be solid. Anyway, feel free to test it. Comes with a demo Windows-forms application.

For instance, this could be used to connect a phone via COM-cable and send/receive SMS-messages. Easily.

Have fun & hope this helps!

Answer 4

I have found this just now:

Does anybody has experiences wit it?

Answer 5

Have you looked into the APIs provided by Tropo? I haven't used it but I gathered that if you use your own gateway, it's free, and if use theirs, it's reasonably priced.

Answer 6

Tom,

You should be able to use the .NET CE Framework (from within Windows) to accomplish this.

Sending SMSs from your Microsoft .NET Compact Framework-based Applications

.NET Compact Framework has built-in handling for sending SMS-s and PDU over a GSM operator and it's fairly well documented.

Also, while not straight .NET, you have options available in the base mobile/broadband api's, it's straight Windows, and can be wrapped/imported using standard .NET technologies.
