All sorts of information. Another search for the E.164 standard is revealing also. Lots of standards, so little code space.

Hi Al,
I did something like this three years ago, using a Multi-Tech modem for CDMA networks. (CDMA is popular here in the US, most of Europe is GSM.) I allocated an array with ten bytes, three for the area code, and seven for the mobile telephone number. On our network you don't have to dial a 1 first, but other networks might require it. When a user sent an SMS message in to the system they had to have a command and a four digit password in the body of the message. Then the system sent back a response to the phone number that came in on their message, in the caller id header.
If the command wasn't valid, or the password wasn't valid then it sent back a message to that effect.
If you'd like to see it I can post the code, but it will take me a day or so to find it, it's on a back up disk somewhere.

Jerry.

Thank you Jerry for your kind offer, but the project is quite finished and I am testing the system. Anyway if you find the code, please post it, I will be glad to read it and search for improvements on mine.

Yes I have used the same approch "a pass code" plus a "command code" but the system will not respond to sms with wrong coding or received commercial sms. They will be delated without any answer. (It will be too costly to answer to wrong messages)

System will give the user, the possibility to change the pass code and entering his own phone numbers (4 different cell phones could be memorized and these numbers used for answering to an incoming valid sms).

From what I see from the test trial, it is going to be a nice gadget.

I will publish the project in few days (I am putting together the documentation). I hope to hear your comments.

Thank you again Jerry.

From the tests performed, the "SMS IO CONTROLLER" seems working very well.

The system as it is downloaded, needs to be set for personal phone numbers, use the VB application enclosed, for the setup. (remember to set the number of digits used for in-country call, as first thing)

Unfortunatly I was unable to upload the file here, because zipped file is 500KB!.
So you can download it from my blog site @ :http://techni.caliti.es/blog/.

- EVERY GOOD WISH FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND THE NEW YEAR -
