ASP.NET - Code to send sms using webservice like way2sms

Asked By mahesh on 06-Apr-11 01:04 AM
Hello,
I want code to send sms using webservice like way2sms please help me out
Mihir Soni replied to mahesh on 06-Apr-11 01:14 AM
Hello,

the site which you have mentioned it doesn't provide any specific developer API to the developer. There are many third party web services available for way2sms but i would suggest you to use HttpwebRequest and HttpWebResponse class to use way2sms api :d

hope this helps you

thank you.

hey hie...

can u provide me the code because I dont know how to use it....
Mihir Soni replied to mahesh on 06-Apr-11 01:26 AM
Hello,

here is code for you.

First of all declare following variable in your code file 

string mbno, mseg, ckuser, ckpass;
private HttpWebRequest req;
private CookieContainer cookieCntr;
private string strNewValue;
public static string responseee;
private HttpWebResponse response;

Now write following code on your page load event

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
     ckuser = "Yourusername";
     ckpass = "YourPassword";
    
     try
     {
       this.req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://wwwd.way2sms.com/auth.cl");
       
       this.req.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
       this.req.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
       this.req.Method = "POST";
       this.req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
       this.strNewValue = "username=" + ckuser + "&password=" + ckpass;
       this.req.ContentLength = this.strNewValue.Length;
       StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(this.req.GetRequestStream(), Encoding.ASCII);
       writer.Write(this.strNewValue);
       writer.Close();
       this.response = (HttpWebResponse)this.req.GetResponse();
       this.cookieCntr = this.req.CookieContainer;
       this.response.Close();
       this.req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://wwwd.way2sms.com//jsp/InstantSMS.jsp?val=0");
       this.req.CookieContainer = this.cookieCntr;
       this.req.Method = "GET";
       this.response = (HttpWebResponse)this.req.GetResponse();
       responseee = new StreamReader(this.response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
       int index = Regex.Match(responseee, "custf").Index;
       responseee = responseee.Substring(index, 0x12);
       responseee = responseee.Replace("\"", "").Replace(">", "").Trim();
       this.response.Close();
      
       pnlsend.Visible = true;
       lblErrormsg.Text = "connected";
     }
     catch (Exception)
     {
       lblErrormsg.Text = "Error connecting to the server...";
     }
   }

Above code will connect your account to way2sms please chnage highlighted code with your username password

Now write following on btnMessageSend_Click event.

protected void btnSend_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
     mbno = txtTo.Text;//To mobile number
     mseg = txtMessage.Text;//Message
 
     if ((mbno != "") && (mseg != ""))
     {
       try
       {
         this.req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://wwwd.way2sms.com//FirstServletsms?custid=");
         this.req.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
         this.req.CookieContainer = this.cookieCntr;
         this.req.Method = "POST";
         this.req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
         this.strNewValue = "custid=undefined&HiddenAction=instantsms&Action=" + responseee + "&login=&pass=&MobNo=" + this.mbno + "&textArea=" + this.mseg;
 
         string msg = this.mseg;
         string mbeno = this.mbno;
 
         this.req.ContentLength = this.strNewValue.Length;
         StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(this.req.GetRequestStream(), Encoding.ASCII);
         writer.Write(this.strNewValue);
         writer.Close();
         this.response = (HttpWebResponse)this.req.GetResponse();
 
         this.response.Close();
         lblErrormsg.Text = "Message Sent..... " + mbeno + ": " + msg;
       }
       catch (Exception)
       {
         lblErrormsg.Text="Error Sending msg....check your connection...";
       }
     }
     else
     {
       lblErrormsg.Text = "Mob no or msg missing";
     }
   }

I have two textbox and one label on the page.

Hope this helps you

thank you

You can use some webservice like
  • For sending SMS to the world: http://www.webservicex.com/sendsmsworld.asmx?WSDL
  • For sending SMS to India: http://www.webservicex.net/SendSMS.asmx?WSDL
for sending SMS with the help of GPRS(General Packet Radio Service ).
refer this for more details and example

Jitendra Faye replied to mahesh on 06-Apr-11 01:35 AM
For sending sms using C# code, first you have to configure your SMS Gateway,
here you have to usename and password.

plz follow below link for more details-

I hope this will help.

Nikhil Mahajan replied to mahesh on 06-Apr-11 01:44 AM
hi mahesh for sending sms...you need to buy sms gateway....
and when u buy sms gatway..they provide you api key..for different languages....
so that you can send sms by "get/post" method...

below is the code to send sms by post method

string username, password, To, udh, From, Text_msg, DrlUrl;
       string amps = "&";
        
       username = "xxxx";
       password = "xxx";
       To = txt_mobile.Text; //mobile no
       udh = "xxxx";
       From = "test"; //sender id
 
       Text_msg = "ur msg here";
        
       string main_string = "http://domain/sendsms?username=" + username + amps + "password=" + password + amps + "to=" + To.Trim() + amps + "udh=" + udh.Trim() + amps + "from=" + From.Trim() + amps + "message=" + Text_msg.Trim() + amps;
        
       
 
 
       Uri cmd12 = new Uri(main_string);
 
       HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(cmd12);
       request.Method = "POST";
        
 
       HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

mahesh replied to Nikhil Mahajan on 06-Apr-11 02:36 AM
hi,
What is sms gateway and how much will it cost
Nikhil Mahajan replied to mahesh on 06-Apr-11 02:42 AM
in layman's language SMS gateway

An SMS gateway is a way of sending a text message with or without using a mobile (cell) phone. Specifically, it is a device or service offering SMS transit by either transforming messages to mobile network traffic from other media or by allowing transmission or receipt of SMS messages with or without the use of a mobile phone. Typical use of a gateway would be to forward simple email to a mobile phone recipient. It can also be useful in developing web applications that we can interact with via SMS (Short Messaging Service).

and in developer lang..

SMS gateway..
is the api through which you can send sms by your application....
there are different types of sms like "normal,priority sms,marketing sms....
so that depends on you.....that which one to buy........

there are many sites from where you can buy sms gateway...of range 3paise-10/20 paise depends on priority of message

string[] siteParameters = SMSClientLib.Login.GetSiteParameters(cookie);

string messgeSentResult = SMSClientLib.SendSMS.Send_Processing("9841568894", "Message!", cookie, siteParameters);
I have highlighted the changes made

Dr.Nick S replied to prashant mohite on 09-Mar-12 02:12 AM
That is because your demo.aspx has some html tags that is usually auto generated by visual studio.
The code behind returns and XML response.
The xml response interferes with the HTML tags on the page.

Remove all HTML tags and just leave the page directive in demo.aspx and you will see the XML response.
Which country do you want to primarily use it for?
prashant mohite replied to Dr.Nick S on 11-Mar-12 01:20 AM
