I want to send SMS messages (several hundreds every few weeks) from a Zope application. Do you know of some way to do this? I prefer not to use a SMS service provider, because of the huge step-in costs. So I think about modeming to the SMS gateway of KPN or Vodafone (I am dutch), which I can reach by GSM phone number. I want to send several messages (the same message to several people) in one call.
Hi Wout, there are a couple of Unix applications that send SMS either via Modem to the dial-in submission center of a typical telco provicer, or via GSM Modem. You could use an external method to interface to these applications. In both cases, the cost is just the connection and telco costs, no setup fees. One I remember out of my head is "SMServer", others are found searching for "SMS" on freshmeat. I will have to implement something similar (but not from Zope) soon, so I can keep you postet off-list on my experience if you want.
