Hi Gary,

You will need a third party company to perform that task for you. Do a search in this forum on SMS.

Hi Eric,

That looks like a solution for scanning. Do you also use that to send text messages to cell phones and faxes to wherever??

Thanks!

Save some money PRINT_TO_FAX()

use Windows Fax services. You can use a 4 port modem for 4 fax lines. The assumption here is that you are hosting the WAS onsite.

Re: How to fax, send text messages ....

i can help you regarding text message and i am working on fax at the moment ( for my own sake)

for text message: if you can send email then you can send text message. at the end of this message i will include the listing file.
the sms address is your phone_number@the_carrier_text_message.com
say your phone number is 1234567890 and the carrier is verizon wireless then the email address to send email that will be delivered as text message is
[email protected] for verizon wireless. just for the heck of it send from your email to your_phone_number@your_carrier_sms.com
check my file below and replace whatever you need to.
and the text message will come.
then all you have to do is write an ajax call back.
if you want, you can pm me your phone_number and the carrier. i will send you a text.
you can add this sms_address as a field just like an email address and extract the value with the e._newDataSubmitted object.

here is the list of the carriers and their sms_suffix

AT&T: [email protected]
Qwest: [email protected]
T-Mobile: [email protected]
Verizon: [email protected]
Sprint: [email protected] or [email protected]
Virgin Mobile: [email protected]
Nextel: [email protected]
Alltel: [email protected]
Metro PCS: [email protected]
Powertel: [email protected]
Boost Mobile: [email protected]
Suncom: [email protected]
Tracfone: [email protected]
U.S. Cellular: [email protected]

if particular carrier is not listed you can search their site.

hope this helps,
would you let me know by posting back or pm.

ps: none of my computers have fax modem, so faxing for now is off.

Re: How to fax, send text messages ....

Thank you for that follow-up. I had already created the scripts to do this, but my list of carriers was only 5. Thank you for the others.

And I can't wait to see your solution for the faxing

Re: How to fax, send text messages ....

hello

i have tested by selecting the fax printer for destination in two different locations and it works well so for me that is enough for now.
if this is not good or you want something else take a look at report.fax() method
http://wiki.alphasoftware.com/REPORT.FAX+Method
this you may find useful.
i am planning to work on this and see if this is any better suited for me than selecting the fax printer.
let me know.
if i succeed i will post back.
