SMS Gateway

    Extension of the functionality of the portal www.aucoins.ru

    Hardware


    A computer with a minimum configuration of about 7,000 rubles was purchased separately. The only emphasis was placed on minimizing the noise level: integrated video, a quiet fan on the processor and in the power supply, because the computer works at night.

    Then followed the purchase of a phone (budget 1000r). The main requirement is the ability to charge from usb. The first time it didn’t work out. Motorola V3 refused to send long sms (more than 150 characters). It turned out this is the trouble of all motorol. Then, SonyEricsson K500 and a USB data cable with the ability to charge the phone from the usb port were purchased.

    Software


    First, the choice fell on ozeki . Of the pluses, great functionality can be noted. Among the shortcomings: an inconvenient interface, besides, I still could not configure the full sending of Russian-language SMS from scripts.

    The search for the program continued, and the further choice fell on nowsms . The program with a simple intuitive interface. On the developer's site there are examples of sending from a php script. Everything is simple and clear, you can make friends with any programming language.
    Now all that’s left for the provider is to connect the service a static ip-address and everything is ready for commercial launch.

    After setting up the nowsms program and installing modem driver for the phone, everything worked like a clock.
    Nowsms works as a service and provides access via the HTTP protocol.
