Hi All,
I'm putting text messaging to cell phones in my application for use in USA.
In MS Outlook I can compose an email and send it to my cell phone by
addressing it to mycellnos@vtext.com. My carrier is Verizon and vtext.com
is their SMS gateway server. I have a fairly complete list of all the other
major wireless carriers in USA. Thus, this means that you can send an email
to a cell phone and have it show up as a text message.
When I try to do this in my Delphi app with a Indy SMTP component the email
gets rejected by vtext.com with a 'SMTP connection refused' message.
Do I need to do this with a SMS gateway server that costs money? Is this
becuase of possible spam reasons that it gets rejected? Lastly, why can I
do this from MS Outlook, how is it getting the email to vtext.com where the
SMTP component doesn't?
Thanks,
Joe
