WinDev Mobile and the SMSs

I am wondering if anyone has recent experience with the WinDev Mobile and the SMSs functions and could offer some advice or caveats.

I have a SaaS application and I would like to add SMS (low volume) for appointment reminders.

Rather than an SMS provider, I was thinking that perhaps it might be better to create an iOS and Android application that can access an SMS list from HFSQL.

To be honest, I am not sure if this would be easy or not. It seems like a good option that clients can simply use their smartphones to log onto their database and send the reminders without having to integrate 3rd party API and 'sell' the supported SMS Service to our customers. I would really like to be able to say - just download our SMS app and connect to your database.

As usual, any thoughts, advice, or opinions gratefully received.

Thanks,
Derek

Hi Derek,

if big usage , I suggestion you get external sms service provider . all you need to do is connect to their webservice .

if small usage, you can use WM SMS function to send , use one of your phone make it the sms service provider .

Hi Derek,

there are several threads on the french windev forum about using a cell phone as a modem to send sms. So no app to download or anything, just windev code and a connected cell and some modem type dialog.

Best regards

Hi,

If you are going to write an Android / iOS application for these reminders you can use the push notifications of WinDev Mobile to send notifications to that application. The applications does not have to run, only started once to register the push notifications. Like the way you receive E-mail notifications on your Andoid/iOS.
