Sending SMS using PERL scripts

[TanmayAnand]

Hi,
This time I am working on PERL. I want to send SMS alert using my perl script.
Can i do this. If yes then how?

Yes, send your phone an email in sms format.

You can use any of the CPAN modules for sending emails. My personal preference is for Net::SMTP and MIME::Lite

http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/libnet-1.19/Net/SMTP.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~yves/MIME-Lite-3.01/lib/MIME/Lite.pm

Only things you should note are to be sure to set your mine type to

'Type' => 'text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"',

And also to limit the size of your sms to 150 characters otherwise it will span messages.

To send sms you need a gateway that is willing to accept your message and dispatch to the respective networks. For this you need to register and stuff which is a tedious process.

What i do is.... send an sms from email. That way you can send sms to any mobile in india with the help a email which is sent to mobile carriers.

But first you need to have a mail server ready to send mails. you also need to install the Mail::SendEasy module in perl.

use Mail::SendEasy ;

my $mail = new Mail::SendEasy(
smtp => 'mail server adddress' ,
user => 'user name' ,
pass => password ,
) ;

my $status = $mail->send(
from => 'abc@abc.com' ,
from_title => 'hi' ,
reply => 'abc@abc.com' ,
error => 'abc@abc.com' ,
to => '9845111111@air telkk.com' ,
cc => '' ,
subject => "TEST" ,
msg => "hi" ,
html => "<b>The HTML Msg...</b>",
msgid => "0101" ,
) ;

if (!$status) { print $mail->error ;}

The above script will send a sms to 9845111111 which falls inside airtell network.

But you will only be able to send 2 sms this is because they wont spam sms to be sent using this method.

The disadvatage of this is that the text will be converted to its respective ascii equivalent and sent to the mobile...so i am not sure how to handle that.


you can find the mail ids of the mobile networks here

Let me know on how it helped to geek491@yahoo.c o.in

almost all SMS devices are available at:
nnnnnnnnnn@tele flip.com
where nnnnnnnnn is the 10 digit phone number. This is a great, free gateway.

There is more complex code out there, for example http://www.enotz.com allows forwarding of eMail to your SMS device and they do not use teleflip but the individual gareway for each provider.

There are a couple of providers, the one I know of being cricket, that do not provide a gateway.

@Sweetypie: Please, please, please...... look at the age of the posts you are reading. The last comment on this one was about 2-3 years ago. I doubt the OP is even working on this anymore.
