I have a client I did a CF page for a year or so ago...
He now has several dozen ringtones he wants to place on his site and allow people to download them.

To be quite honest, I dont have a clue (insert joke here)
to where to start looking how to do this.

Hoping some of you fellow tek-tippers can point me in the right direction..


Thanks

Craig

I think wap would require the user to browse via their phone to download the ringtone, I thought he was talking about where you enter your cell # into the website and it sends you the ringtone? owell, either way, I've never done it...

Hello Guys,

I've done quite a bit of text messageing through the web, and you have two options really.

The first is to look at the MX Enterprise Gateway, but this isnt really an option as it doesn actualy allow you to send messages direct, it simply allows you use the SNPP protocols to communicate with an 'agregator' who is a third party that will send your message for you, and charge you on a 'pay per message' type scheme.

However, the second option is much more appealing, again involving an agregator, but this time, no phaphing with the Gateway, most of the little gem's will accept an HTTP request :-D.

then you can just attach parameters to the http request, such as accountname, password, message content and a list of recipient numbers, a few moment later they arive on your phone.

Now, most aggregators will charge you almost standard network rate, somthing like 10p per standard text, unless you are buying large amounds, maybe 10,000 a month, in which case it drops to around 6p or 7p ... If you're luck enough to send 1,000,000 then maybe you'll get a nice competitive price of around 3p per message.

Iether way, none of this is a particularly cheap, i've built it into my system management app as it means i can offer my clients 24 hour email support, if someone mails me when we're not around (sleeping) then it'll send me a TXT message to wake me, only 10p.

Some aggregators also off the facility for me to text my app and it'll then create an email back to the customer *grins smuggly.

You can also use it for all sorts of system monitoring, i'm sure many people have thresholds on thier apps which use CFMAIL, this case just use CFHTTP and it'll text you.

I've got the contact details for a couple of good aggregators if you want them, but have a hunt around on google you'll spit up a whole host, most of them offer almost identical services for identical prices, just choose one you like the look of.
