Integration of SMS

Abstract

This paper provides an introduction to basic SMS concepts, specifications, and services along with the modules developed using these services. Short message service (SMS) is a globally accepted wireless service that enables the transmission of alphanumeric messages between mobile subscribers and external systems such as electronic mail, paging, and voice-mail systems. The primary benefit of SMS is the ability to use the handset as an extension of the computer. It is a part of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Standard. The project basicaJiy comprises of four parts. These parts are different short-messaging services. The most integral part is the web to short messaging services. The messaging is through the website to the cellular. The other module is the email to sms. The email2sms technology uses the web2sms technology pattern to send the email to the mobile device. The international short messaging service uses international gateways to send messages internationally. It also works in the same manner as the web2sms. Only the changed requirement is that the addresses of international operator/gateways are required. The stock quotes provide the facility to register and receive the updated stock information over your mobile device. The backbone of the project is the use of Short Messaging Service (SMS) technology. The SMS concepts were applied to all the modules to send the messages to the mobile devices. The Wireless Application Programming (WAP) and the Global System for Mobile colilmunication (GSM) standards were studied and implemented for sending the sms. The future of the wireless and specifically sms technology is discussed along with the future development plan and maintenance of the project.
