Intelligent Sms Solution

Hi
I was wondering if somewhere out there any one has come across with an APP which can read the contents in an SMS and do an action based on the content
For example
Receive a TEXT MESSAGE (SMS) from
Mike <+1234567890>
Content
"Hi Mike my friend Alice is looking for the address of your firm can u send her your business card her number is <+9876543210> and she is waiting for your contact information."
<End of Message>
Commonly available FILTER programs like MAGICALL, etc
Wud normally recognise and reply with a predefined message a specific contact or a list of contact in this case it wud reply to MIKE <+1234567890>
My requirement is to reply to the number contained in the SMS
in this example
ALICE <+9876543210> with a pre defined message.
Any one out there have a similar requirement. Kindly join in and pipe up
Else its me all alone
Any help from any quarter is solicited
Sadly my core strengths are DATABASE management
So i cant really write a program based on WM5 or WM6 or dont know how to or where to start as well.

Al

It seems that u have been asking this in a lot of threads including mine.
I dont think this is a common requirement.
Besides the logic to code this would also be difficult as there could be many nos besides the actual phone nos to interpret.
I am very busy with my website, callfirewall etc right now.
May be later, I'll give it a shot if many people ask for it.

imho wm5 API could do that. it can search for the message content for particular words and then do something if it finds those words contained in the message.

"imho wm5 API could do that. it can search for the message content for particular words and then do something if it finds those words contained in the message."
but it would require a flag to be set for each msg where the action had already been performed otherwise it would keep doing it over and over
also it's a pretty wack'd security breach if the "protocol" became known and no only from contacts functionality was added

in a nokia handset
in a nokia handset when u press the green dial key while reading an sms it shows the sender number the number inside the sms
basically
i program on VISUAL FOXPRO
if u use a function call val("hi worl 9845098450") it wud return 9845098450.00
i wish i knew how to access i cud do string manipulations fairly easy
send me in the right direction n mebbe i cud get far

For eg. if the sms is
"Call xyz on +2345566 at 16:30 hrs"
now there r a lot of issues,
1. getting the '+' with the no. there can be problems calling the no without the '+'.
2. it will also interpret '16' and '30' as nos.
The program has to be coded keeping in mind human mentalities of sending such smses.

Thanx for the prompt reply shailesh
The messages i receive are generally in a fixed format and are generated from my e-commerce app and the format is
"Call Mr xyz at 9812354321/08066661234 immed looking for your company, additionally it has a mail addy also [email protected]"
Any help or send me the required direction

SMS Gateway for use in Android app?

So, Ive made an Android App called SMS Forward. It enables forwarding of SMS to either another phone number or an email. What would be cool is if I could somehow make it so that you could reply to text messages through email. For this to work I reckon I need to use some kind of SMS Gateway. I know there are solutions out there you have to pay for, which is fine.. Does anyone have any suggestions?

you have to check 2-WaySMS for sms sending/receiving

My app PhoneLeash (tinyurl.com/phoneleashfree) does SMS forwarding to email and SMS. Its possible to reply to incoming SMS from your email account, provided the Reply-To address is your phone's email-to-SMS address. The phone then sends out your reply, so no gateway needed, and it looks more natural to the recepient.
These email-SMS addresses are completely non-standard unfortunately so I had to create a database by hand, at least for US and Canadian carriers. And I can only hope they don't change too soon.
There are also some online services that help you determine who the carrier is for a phone number. You could use those and come up with a valid Reply-To based on the number of the incoming SMS (most of the time hopefully!)
Hope this helps, I know its been a while!

You're replying to an almost 6 year old thread, there have been many options introduced since this thread was created.

It is quite easy to find out the options in order to send bulk SMS to the audience. The real estate text marketing app that I am using is absolutely great. We are super impressed with the results. The interface is easy to understand. I am totally impressed with it. Would surely be suggesting this to others as well.

[POLL] Email-to-SMS

Hi all:
I am a developer for an app that forwards SMS (and other things) to an email address. Obviously it would be elegant to be able to reply to your SMS right from your email account, while the other side still sees your SMS in the normal way, and the app does exactly this.
But to get the reply back to the phone via email, we need the user to enter the email-to-SMS address as part of setup. You know, like [email protected] or @vtext.com. The app has a database for some countries and carriers but obviously its a drop in the bucket.
We are finding out that maybe not a lot of people know of such a feature on their phones, hence this poll! It'll help us try some other ideas, or implement this one differently.
Thanks!

PhoneLeash - free on Android Market

Rogers (in Canada) has this service.. but they charge us for it. So not many people actually have it.

Thanks to everyone who responded. As a result of the poll results, PhoneLeash now supports forwarding SMS (and missed calls, and location, and battery status) to another phone number via SMS. And replying back to these forwarded SMS' does not require an email-to-SMS feature. If you forward to a Google Voice number (or other PC-based SMS-capable services such as HeyWire, Pinger), you can use a PC, and enjoy a very nice feature set (see this review).

Thanks for the useful development for mobile users and internet users as well.
However, I'm already using this service with the help of third party i.e. TextMarketer.co.uk

Play (Poland) already has such a service. It is free for everyone. Polish speakers can check it here: http://www.blogplay.pl/2010/11/kopia-sms-na-email-beta/

[Q] Get more out of contact management

I've been using Google contacts and email for some time now and am surprised that there is not a more robust contact management solution from a sales perspective. Most people I think, have a need today to make good searchable notes about the people the they meet, and add reminders to follow-up with certain ones or groups of them.
I was reminded again today how horrible this contact management situation still is today, when I added a contact that I met at a Chumber of Commerce lunch. I remembered "Mark J" which is meaningless to me so I entitled the contact with a two letter code identifying the restaurant where we met, as much of the name I could remember, and relavant details. The title was Db Mark J Owner Limo Svc.
Now what I like about that, is that no longer are you forced to split the name into separate fields because that wouldn't fit.
What I don't like is that when I did a search immediately after adding the name for the word "limo' which is, for crying out loud, in the title of the contact, it did not come up! It wasn't even in the notes or some other field which should also be searchable?
How do others handle this? I know about SalesForce.com and others but monthly commitments are a small business owner's worst nightmare. Is there any way to improve this?
I'd like to at least be able to find a Google contact with a search.
I'd also like to add reminders to follow up on various groups or search matches.
I'd also like to be able let an email campaign interact with them without creating separate lists.
Assistance is greatly appreciated in helping me to get more out of contact management.

Learn java. Create new contacts app.
Or contact Google..
No one from Google will see your issues here.

[GAME][BETA][4.0+] Tiny Words - multiplayer word building game

Hi! I've been working on a word building game with a friend for the past few months and we'd love some brutal honesty from the community.
Please download the app and let us know what you think. Do you think the gameplay is fun? Also, we'd love to hear some suggestions regarding the overall style and UI of the app. We're both developers and did the UI ourselves, so we're sure there's room for a LOT of improvements, but we first want to know what people actually think about the game before hiring a professional graphics designer, since our budget is very limited.
I can't provide links to our Google Plus community or Google Play since I'm new at the forum, so I'm attaching the apk here.
If you have any feedback, you can just post something on the community or send us an email at: [email protected]
How to play
The idea is that you're given a board with some fixed words on it and 7 letters. You have 2 minutes to form as many words on the board as possible. In order for the words to be valid, they must use at least one of the letters of the fixed words on the board. You can also chain words together to get more bonuses.

Thanks so much!
Pd. The only major feature missing from this version is play with your Facebook friends (we're working on it), but you can still play against a random opponent or another user if you know their username.

I just tried to start your app, and here is what happened: I was asked to enter my facebook id or an email adress. I don't want to involve facebook here, so I entered an email. Then the dialog "Your email address is not registered. Do you want to create an account?" appeared, and I clicked on "OK". After that the startscreen appeared again (enter facebook or email address), and the app behaved as if I haven't registered my email adress yet. What did I do wrong?

Actually you didn't do anything wrong. After you hit the "OK" to register that email, you should've been taken directly to the app. So, definitely a bug, I'll take a look at the log files to see if I find anything.
