SMS API

[PickAndMix]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to build / where to purchase a SMS service which I can use to connect to a a MYSQL database to send out bulk SMS, and the requirements for these.

Features include

1) Able to unsubscribe from the SMS service
2) Able to send different group of contacts with different messages
3) Scheduled timing through database

Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Clickatell is a SMS gateway that you can use. Search for "Bulk SMS" and you will find plentiful, just a matter of cost.

Why would you want your MySQL DB to send out SMS ? That is not the job of the database. If you are trying to create a scheduled job to query from your database and then send out notification as accordingly, what you should do is write a script or an application that is invoked by a system or application scheduler. All the logic of grouping contacts with different messages to be done via this script or application.

Are you sure you need to have SMS service for it can get costly when in bulk.

I used onewaysms.sg for a client before. They have a http API that works pretty well, and is simple to use.
