PureSMTP uses LOGIN authentication if you specify username/password in PureSMTP_SendMail(). Maybe you don't need to authenticate or your server uses 'POP3 authentication before SMTP', so try using PureSMTP_OpenPOP3ThenSMTPConnection().

hehe yeah, that's the service which I tested it on since my wife uses them.

Really free? In what parts of the world?

Everywhere.

The idea is very simple:

You send an e mail to the mobile phone. Its receives it as an SMS.

Most companies offer this service for free to their users.

The important part is to know how to format the phone number to use it as the receipt for the e mail.

AFAIK has to eb done like this

Two digit for country code
4 digit for area code
Phone number without the frist 2 digits.

Per example, a mobile here in argentia is

54 02278 15872634

Then, must be formated like:

542278872634 (taking off the 15 of the mobile phone number and the 0 of the area code)

542278872634@whatevermail.com

Will send email to your phone

-------

As i said i develope sometime ago some app that does this for Argentina.
BUT i notice that some prepaid mobile phones in some cases (don't know which cases) DON'T receive this e mails.
Thats why i stop distributing this small app.

Cool, but do I need to choose the right provider then? Because mine isn't listed there.

Btw.: Area code for Germany is 49, right? And the leading 0 in Germany goes whereever then, right?

You don't need to find a right provider but to find the server they use to derivate and receive email for your phone. Ask them.

Per example, in my case i use CTI as provider. CTI web page is cti.com.ar BUT that don't helps.

I found that need to use sms.ctimovil.com.ar to get emails to my mobile.

Once you get the appropiate server... you can send e mail to your mobile using any email client or develope some small app that does it.

Usually 0 of area codes get out for this.

I'd like to suggest a slightly modified event loop. In yours, if you open the combobox and type a letter, the list jumps to the first occurrence of that letter if it exists. This is good so far. However, when you type a second letter, it doesn't drill further down the list searching for the first+second letter, it starts over at the first occurrence of your second keypress in the list. With the suggested code, open the list and type 'V'. It jumps to "Verizon Pagers". Now type 'i'. It will drill down in the V's to "Virgin Mobile", which is what we use. This seems quicker and more intuitive (to me) Anyway, here it is, use or ignore at your whim:

Code: Select all

srch.s = ""
Repeat 
  Event = WaitWindowEvent() 
  If Event = #PB_Event_Gadget
    Select EventGadget()
      Case 0
        If GetGadgetText(0) = "Area:" : SetGadgetText(0,"") : EndIf
      Case 1
        If GetGadgetText(1) = "Phone Number:" : SetGadgetText(1,"") : EndIf
      Case 4 
        sendsms(GetGadgetText(0),GetGadgetText(1),GetGadgetText(5),GetGadgetText(2)) 
      Case 5
        If GetGadgetText(5) = "Subject:" : SetGadgetText(5,"") : EndIf
      Case 6
        If EventType() = 1
          keydown=0
          For i=65 To 90
            If GetAsyncKeyState_(i) & 32768
              keydown=i:Break
            EndIf 
          Next        
          If keydown
            srch+Chr(keydown)
            result = SendMessage_(GadgetID(6),#CB_FINDSTRING,0,@srch)
            If result = -1
              srch=""
              SetGadgetState(6,0)
            Else
              SetGadgetState(6,result) 
            EndIf
          EndIf
        EndIf
    EndSelect
  EndIf 
Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

Oops, not sure, but i would say: Most companies don't offer this service for free to their users

Thanks net, when I get home I will take a look and probably add it

Hi,
Anybody knows how should format my mobile phone number in spain, in order to use this service?
+34.627.000.000
Thanks

[DarkDragon]

And mine in Germany? It always just shows me errors about the length... .

Yeah, if im not mistaken, german phone numbers have a different number of digits. Assuming their sms system works the same, you could just edit the source code to compensate for that.
