Overview
Short Message Service (SMS) is a text messaging service used by
mobile communication devices to exchange brief text messages. Most
service providers also provide gateway servers that can be used to
send messages to a wireless device on their network using standard
e-mail protocols. The CTextMessage class provides methods
that can be used to determine the provider associated with a
specific telephone number and send a text message to the device
using the provider's mail gateway.
This library has been designed to assist developers in sending
text message notifications as part of their application. For
example, it can be used to enable your software to automatically
send notifications when a specific event occurs, such as an error
condition. This library is not designed to be used with software
that will send out a large number of text messages to many users,
and there are limitations on the number of messages that may be
sent to different phone numbers over a short period of time.
Because many recipients must pay a fee for each text message they
receive, text messages should only be sent to those who explicitly
request them.
Note: This class library only supports service providers
in North America and cannot be used to send text messages to mobile
devices that use providers outside of the United States and
Canada.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with
any programming language that supports calling functions exported
from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual
C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6)
installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your
development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed.
This library is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. If you are using
Windows XP, it is required that you have Service Pack 3 (SP3)
installed. It is recommended that all service packs and critical
updates to the Windows operating system be installed.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native
64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of Windows XP
Professional, Windows Server 2003 or later versions of the Windows
operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, it
is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library,
not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM
registration.
