Turn your S60 device into a web SMS interface

ukaner | 31 August, 2008 12:16

We have been investigating many times how to add SMS support to our web services, but things looked quite complicated and expensive, each time we ended up changing our mind. But thanks to the post of the guys at Arctic Startup, now we know a nice, easy and free way to add SMS support to any web service using an S60 device and very simple logic: FromSMS from an Estonian startup FromDistance.

When your web application needs to send and/or receive SMS messages cost-efficiently, FromSMS is the solution for you. FromSMS offers a simple HTTPS POST interface for sending of SMS messages - all you need is an S60 mobile device with free FromSMS Client installed.
FromSMS supports multiple virtual device support, in case your S60 device, internet connection or something else start to suck. This is not free of charge, however would worth the price as reliability in return.
 
We will check this out and write our experience. Basically looks like what we need is an unlimited SMS plan, an S60 device plugged in to charge, a WLAN network and an account on the service. But we should investigate this more in details and test the security, reliability and usability of this service.

I also posted this on our blog, would be glad to hear your ideas and experience if you somehow have the chance to try it before us, or already using it.

Arctic Startup? :)

Hello.

Actually ArcticStartup has nothing to do with FromSMS.
This Estonian company is called Fromdistance: http://www.fromdistance.com/

Ok, I guess the sentence was open for misunderstanding. I corrected, hope less confusing now?

Support for binary messages

psbehm | 10/06/2009, 12:58

Yesterday Fromdistance announced that the service also supports binary messages. It enables quite many new possibilities for developers.

"FromSMS Client 2.0 has just been made available as a free download on www.fromsms.net. The new FromSMS Client offers support for sending of binary messages (like service messages, links, vCards, internet access points etc). This feature makes FromSMS the most versatile SMS messaging interface available!"
