I have developed a windows application in vb.net and now my client wants to add sms feature in that application. i have never used sms feature before so don't have any idea how to get it done. Can anyone tell me how to use GSM modem in order to send sms to recipients through vb.net application?
So far i have designed a GUI with NumberTextBox and SMSBodyTextBox and SendSMSButton. The sms should be sent to number entered in the NumberTextBox including the SMSBody when the user clicks SendSMSButton.
PS: SMS will be sent only by GSM Modem using Local network Sim Card.
Any support regarding this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

I am building an app which requires phone number authentication, but all the online SMS API providers are relatively expensive compared to the SMS prices I can get from Mobile Service Providers here in my country.
Let me start by saying, I KNOW it's not possible to send SMS programaticaly directly but...
My server runs on cloud, so I can't exactly plug in a GSM module to the server computer, but would it be a viable option if I create an SMS server using a GSM module and a Raspberry PI, then have the Raspberry PI have a connection to my Server so it will be notified whenever there is a new authentication to be, and then it will receive the users information and send the user the authentication SMS. Is this a viable idea, I know this will work, I'm just curious speed wise?

You can use Twilio as SMS Gateway.

I'm building an application where a user could send in requests(invites sort of) to other specified users.Once an invitee receives an invite,he/she could accept or decline the request.Then the invitee's response is then sent to the inviter as a message and recorded in a separate table in azure mobile service. Any idea how this use case could be achieved using windows phone 8.1 and azure mobile service?
I am using Tigase server for my application.I want to Integrate my server(Tigase) with SMS gateway. Is there any support available in Tigase.
Thanks
There is no SMS gateway out of the box, but it is very easy to implement one. Just create a Tigase component which intercepts messages and forwards them as SMS. Some of our customers have implemented SMS, iPhone, Android, BB gateways already.
I want to configure sms gateway. my scenario is as:
We have a list of enrolled students. Each one is assigned a tutor. They have to get information about their tutor such as tutor name and contact etc.
I want that they send a formatted sms to the server and server provides the requested information to them via sms.
Please tell me what things, I will need?
Infrastructure?
any demo server available to test my application?
I will be implementing it in PHP
Thanks
Have you seen Twilio's REST API for SMS already? https://www.twilio.com/sms/api. That will save you lots of time configuring own GSM modem firmware and maintaining own SMS transactions. With 3rd party SMS service provider you can just focus on your client app such as sending back tutor's profile to the provider and the provider will carry your message push it back to the student's mobile number.
Of course the old way is that everything (data and GSM software) sits within our own network. I used to have HTC's GSM model like 7 years ago) with my J2ME apps for Nokia, HTC and Motorola smartphones. But nowadays, you have lots or cheaper and better options. Even Android phones can be used as bare bones GSM modem already :D
Enjoy!
Before you go on implementing something by yourself, I suggest that you check services that already do it well. Maybe you can just use them? One such easy-to-use service is Twilio.
