sending SMS from (Android) mobile using <a href

[This my first post on a forum, so I hope I’m not abusing any etiquette or people’s kindness.]

My objective is to send an SMS “receipt” from an Agent’s mobile (viewing our web page) instantly to the “payer” to acknowledge receipt of a (small) cash payment …. using the bundled SMS package wih the Agent’s phone contarct … not an external SMS service.

I’m hoping to do this from our website (which the Agent will be viewing at the time of transaction) rather than a dedicated App, if possible.

I have searched everywhere for a simple solution to this and successfully used the following as a prelimanry test

<p><a href=”sms:7777777777777?body=SMARTiPAY. £5 received, thank you. “>Send SMS welcome message to new member ></a></p>

.. but what I actually need now is a means of replacing both the “number” and “content” with variables generated from a form on the page …. input fields “mobilenum” and “message” (or other variables if spec needs to be different?)

Thank you

@theyokerOct 31.2012 — Try the JavaScript forum. I don't believe you can achieve this through HTML. Does your:

[CODE]<p><a href="sms:7777777777777?body=SMARTiPAY. £5 received, thank you. ">Send SMS welcome message to new member ></a></p>[/CODE]

Actually send a SMS message to someone? Or am I missing something?

(I google'd it and you can to my surprise. But as you want to grab information from the webpage and use it javascript can do it easily).

@mike_a0524Nov 14.2012 — Hello all,

I am a software developer. I am working on an C#.NET application that makes it possible to send SMS from it through a gateway. I found a gateway on website of ozekisms, that seems to be working for as the engine. Here a C#.NET SMS demo project is provided with full source code. Do you have any suggestions to my project? Any useful idea?

Thanks and good work:

Mike
