Free text message (domestic only) how to Send the text Messages Using PHP
Test Demo
?
I am currently working on a large project and part of the project are to send simple text message notices using PHP.? Our client had looked into a number of the expensive services to the send simple SMS messages but the most were cost prohibitive for a Start-up venture.
As usual, I was not satisfied paying for something that I should is able to does on my own. So I started thinking the messaging systems worked and realized, we could just use the carriers built in EMA Il addresses for MMS messaging.? This was a great, cost effective method for sending text messages but it does require so you know the user's carrier for The message to be successfully delivered.? In our case, we is able to ask for this in the Web form which we is using to collect the user's phone number but it may Not work for every application.?
?
Basically the solution is to send a email using the built in mail function in PHP or any common method of sending email.? The email address you would send to would is the digit mobile number followed by the carriers specific email address. (A list is included below)
?
Email addresses for the primary U.S. based cell phone carriers:
Alltel = [email protected]
t = [email protected] or [email protected]
Boost Mobile = [email protected]
Centennial Wireless = [email protected]
Einstein PCS = [email protected]
Nextel = [email protected]
Sprint = [email protected] or [email protected]
T-mobile = [email protected]
US Cellular = [email protected]
Verizon Wireless = [email protected]
Virgin Mobile = [email protected]
?
The simple PHP code to send the email:
SUBJECT and BODY of EMAIL should is less THAN characters total$subject = "text Message SUBJECT"; $message = "Text Mes Sage Content "; Sends TEXT MESSAGE to 503-869-4212mail ("[E-mail protected]", $subject, $message, "from: [email protected]");
