Re: SMS-Texting?

I later learned of an address which coincides with the signature your service provider supports. Easy eh? Now I'm wondering if there is some way for a person receiving an SMS text message to reply or forward the text message. It doesn't seem like it at the moment.

We're thinking SMS is a way to simultaneously send out a short text message to a couple dozen people who carry phones around but we must make it really easy and as fast as possible for those who receive the text message to reply so we can assign the first one to reply a job. Think of a group of contractors signed up for a job and when the job is available they all get an SMS text message and the first to reply gets the job.

We were thinking of using SMS because all current phones appear to support SMS but all of the different browsers and complexity of developing mobile applications for all of the different phones and carriers make it a big expensive pain in the ass to make this line of business work out. In other words, we cannot compel everybody to use Windows Mobile phones.

have as C# developers using Microsoft? There is so much "mobile" this and
that at MSDN I don't know where to start with the latest.

If you are talking about sending SMS from computer to cell phone:
My communication company has special email addresses in form of
<cell phone number>@sms.mts.com.ua. You can send there an email and
the text in email will
be delivered to corresponding cell phone. So sending an SMS to a cell
phone number in this
case is just sending email to this address. And there are a lot of
APIs to send emails.
I suppose most communication companies have the same kind of service.

If you are talking about sending SMS from mobile device, I think you
can start from here:
