Hi all,
I have just developed a mobile application and need to test it on a live
test server and see how well it works....can anyone recommend where i can do
(there must be some where on the internet that free sms test servers can be
used) this and how i can go about doing this as this is my first Mobile app i
have developed, i have actually developed it using two different types of
projects:
asp.net web application and asp.net mobile web application, as i am not very
sure which to use yet
but the kind of set-up i have in mind is:
when the mobile device makes a request diagram
Mobile Device -----------> SMS/MMS gateway servers(test server)
--------------> my Website/my webapp
when the web app returns a response makes a request diagram
Mobile Device <----------- SMS/MMS gateway servers(test server) <
------------- my Website/my webapp
The mobile device (PDA, mobile phone, smart phone e.t.c) makes a request by
sending a text/a picture(SMS/MMS) to a short code number or whatever protocol
is used by the sms test server uses which i am not sure of ??(which i suppose
will be given to me by my sms host to identify my website address of which
the sms server would use to redirect the data from my mobile device to my
website via the sms gateway server [as it is there to facilitate the sms wap
transfer protocol] ) although i am not sure which protocol is better to
implement Wap, soap, webservices e.t.c or all of the above.
But i am sure i have to sort this out when i am fully ready to choose my SMS
Host...so for now Wap or any other mobile device protocol to communicate
between my mobile device and the sms server is sufficient.
SMS/MMS Sever gets the requests (sms/mms messages)from the mobile device(s)
and uses the short code number supplied by my host or whatever protocol used
identify my website and redirect the requests to my website, passing the
identity and other parameters from the mobile device to my website to my web
app which will be waiting for such requests(i also have to know what sort of
request protocols my app needs to look out for (HTTP ,such as
httpwebrequests) from the SMS server so that i can also add the code to my
app to look out for such requests.
My application processes each mobile requests and sends the response back
the same way, back to the sms/mms server which routes it back to the mobile
device that sent the initial request. Phew!! thats about it.
so far i have developed the application and have tested it just on my
webserver IIS and it works fine.
although the asp.net mobile web application project still have some
syntactical problems which i can sort out later.
can anyone please inform me on how to go about seting -up this supposedly
simple but ellaborate setup thats taken me so much writing to explain???

p.s thanks for reading the whole long and winded explanation!
