Hi,

I am having some problem writing code using Windows Visual Basic 6 to send out sms automatically with condition. Can anyone give me sample code for reference?

How are you trying to send the message? While one can in theory write directly to SMS services, it's tremendously easier to simply use the email gateways almost every service provider has. Then you just dump out an SMTP message with the info directed to the recipient. If you don't want to write your own SMTP code, then just buy one of the SMTP controls on the market. They all work, or at least all the ones I've seen work.

Hi,
I now use HTTP interface, it avoids all the SMTP trouble (email is almost useless now thanks to spam) and SMS can be done in a single curl command.

I use a provider called aql, they have some sample code on their site.
