sending sms through way2sms help needed

Question

I am building a desktop app in Visual C# 2.0 that can send sms through way2sms.com. anyone of you ve tried such thing...? please help.

Bad question. Is this spam advertising their service? You should have specified which protocol the API uses (HTTP REST, SMTP, SOAP, etc). — Alex L, Oct 19 '09 at 18:41
This question isn't answerable, please see the FAQ. Perhaps you can reword your question with a specific question that we can tackle? — Jed Smith, Oct 19 '09 at 18:41
@JedSmith This is not really spam. Way2sms.com relies on ads. They wouldn't want developers to be directly accessing the site. Free sms is a big thing in India and making apps for such process is considered profitable. — Ufoguy, Jan 08 '14 at 05:06

This link has a solution

http://www.aswinanand.com/2008/07/send-free-sms-web-service/

We can pass parameters to the URL provided with the help of a Web Request class. I did it with following lines

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("_http://www.aswinanand.com/sendsms.php?uid=" + this.txtUserID.Text + "&pwd=" + this.txtPassword.Text + "&phone=" + this.txtToMobileNo.Text + "&msg=" + this.txtMessage.Text);

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8);
return reader.ReadToEnd();

There is another tool implemented in java available at http://way2sms.codeplex.com/, which i am implementing in C# now.

Never used way2sms. I used clickatell. It works great even on webservers.

This isn't a solution to the problem outlined, and would probably have been better as a comment rather than an answer. – gpmcadam Oct 20 '09 at 11:01
The question was "such thing". So I find this still relevant to the question asked. – Wout Oct 21 '09 at 11:50

For that you need to input the API for SMS and integrate in your asp.net application.

Download SOurceCode HEre

http://alfasms.alfredfrancis.in/?uname=YOUR_USERNAME&pass=YOUR_PASSWORD&to=YOUR_RECEPTIANT&mess=YOUR_MESSAGE&gateway=YOUR_GATEWAY

>> Where YOUR_USERNAME your way2sms/160by2/fullonsms/sms440/site2sms USERNAME(ie mobile number)
>>Where YOUR_PASSWORD your way2sms/160by2/fullonsms/sms440/site2sms PASSWORD.
>> Where YOUR_RECEPTIANT is to which number you want to send SMS.
>> Where YOUR_MESSAGE is the message you want to send.
>> Where YOUR_GATEWAY is way2sms/160by2/fullonsms/sms440/site2sms.

string connectionString = "<a href="http://alfasms.alfredfrancis.in/?uname=YOUR_USERNAME&pass=YOUR_PASSWORD&to=YOUR_RECEPTIANT&mess=YOUR_MESSAGE&gateway=YOUR_GATEWAY">http://alfasms.alfredfrancis.in/?uname=YOUR_USERNAME&pass=YOUR_PASSWORD&to=YOUR_RECEPTIANT&mess=YOUR_MESSAGE&gateway=YOUR_GATEWAY</a>";

try
 {

System.IO.Stream SourceStream = null;

System.Net.HttpWebRequest myRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(connectionString);

myRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)myRequest.GetResponse();

SourceStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream();

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream());

string str = reader.ReadLine();

}

i hav developed an api of way2sms and other providers which can be directly used by everyone.. check it out at http://ubaid.tk/sms/

you can use the web page created by me, or u can use the api structure.. for example, your application can directly fwd the request to

http://ubaid.tk/sms/sms.aspx?uid=99999xxxxx&pwd=12345&msg=your sms text which u want 2 send&phone=9996669990&provider=way2sms

where uid is the way2sms userid, pwd is the way2sms password, msg is ur message which needs to be sent, and phone is the phone number wher u want to send the sms.. the differen providers are way2sms, fullonsms, smsinside and tezsms..

works 100%, all the time.. :)

cheers..

that was an awesome trick... can you please help me with some source code.. how you made it to send sms from asp.net — Abbas, Sep 08 '11 at 09:44
