Sending Text Messages from Studio

[Chris Hughes]

Chris Hughes here

I have been sending SMS for years from Deoffice, that I released to the 
Omnis public.

We send to a SMS provider, they ask for subscription for so many 
messages.

By the way man bugs have been fixed in Deofice.

We only send, you can receive

.

Hi Jeanne,

We have the same problem with sending text messages using SMTP in 
Studio. So
far I found that the problem is related to the Email service providers, 
some
of them, for some reasons, don't support texting.

You can search the archive for a thread with this subject "A question 
about
SMTPSend"..
Check the suggestion from Doug Easterbrook, "A question about SMTPSend 
(and
some other things to think about)", about using Mailgun as a service
provider for your clients that have a problem with texting.
  I started investigating this change and things are working much better 
with
us so far.

HTH,
Mayada

I'm sending text messages to the company clients via email using smtp
server.  So far its been unreliable as some text go thru and others do
not.  The Att customers for example do not get them.  Metro, tmobil and
others do.

This is posing a challenge for me now as we planing to expand to send
automatic notifications/confirmation with certain transactions:

-Trouble #1  unreliability.  Some get it, some do not
-Trouble #2  in order for me to send via smtp server I have to know
customer cellphone provider.  Not all the customer on the database have
that info.

So the question is: Is there another way I can send text messages from
studio that does not entitle an email and I dont need to input the
provider?  The company that handles the texting for us outside of studio 
do
not need that info.  We only give them a file with the phone numbers in 
it
and they mass send the texts, but I cant use that with what I want to do
now.  It has to come from studio.

By the way, we are using Studio 6.1  and planning to upgrade to Studio 
10

Please advise.

Jeanne Reyes
