Hi Friends,
This is my first login to this immensly informative site and I would like to thank you all for all the knowledge that I have gatgered from here.
I have been assigned a new project (mentioned below), If anybody has worked on this kind of stuff or has knowledge about it, please tell me the steps that I should follow to achieve this.
Requirement : A customers information (Mobile number along with a text message) will be sent as a message in tag delimited format and
1) the message now needs to be sent to the mentioned mobile number as an SMS by WMB.
2) when the customer replies then WMB should be able to receive the SMS and forward it as a text message to another application.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhishek gupta

Hi,
I think that your first thing is to take contact to you tele -operators to find out which kind of interfaces they can provide to you. After decision with which one you like to deal with, it should be quite a normal external application integration case with broker.
Perhaps some one has better ideas?

For Verizon customers, you use EmailOutput node and set the DestinationList in the LocalEnvironment to <cell_number>@vtext.com

Not a better idea but a variation of the same. There are software packages that can issue SMS alerts (for instance those used by financial institutions to text you when you're overdrawn, have a deposit, etc). These are typically driven by all the usual means so investigate if your site has access to such software, even if not currently in use. It's sometimes bundled with faxing software (e.g. RightFax).
If you have such software, you feed it a file / message / web service call and you're off.

| we would be using SMPP (Short message peer-peer protocol) to send messages to SMSC (short message service centre).. does that change anything as said above? |

Except that you clearly don't need to ask anyone what software you're using, or the interface you need to call.

so what I gather fromabove is :
step 1: create a flow that will take text file as an input and will throw an email out (with DestinationList in the LocalEnvironment as <cell_number>@sms-server.company.com) as an output from an emailoutput node.
step 2: send the emails to SMSC (short message service centre) using the SMPP Interface (shor message peer-peer protocol) and then leave it to them !!
But EmailOutput node delivers an email message from a message flow to an SMTP server that you specify but I'amdealing with an SMPP server.
Am I missing anything here? |

No, you seem to have identified the required transformation, and that the email output node is unsuitible for the outward transmission (as the target is not an SMTP server).

| Is there any way with which I can achieve this as many of the companies might be doing this already so there must be some way with which we can send Emails to SMPP server?? |

Often times the SMPP provider will accept emails sent to mobilenumber@text.provider.com. You need to enquire with your SMPP provider.
Have fun

Why don't you do some experimentation with your local provider and then if you have problems please come back to us with them.
IMHO, we have gone as far as we can without actually coding your application for you (this costs money. Vitor's rate is $500/hour).

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

It's a tough marketplace.
I should add that rate does not include expenses or danger money (for intelectually dangerous assignments).
All part of a larger plan to make training seem more cost-effective.
