Methods of Sending SMS

Send SMS with ASP  

This guide is a guide provided by our Exabytes Malaysia Team. You will be given information on

how to add SMS functionality to your website and how to send SMS with ASP code. This method

uses HTTP communication between the SMS Gateway and your website. To send and receive

SMS messages from a webpage, you will need to have scripting support enabled on your webserver.


Below are some examples using ASP scripting:

 

Integrate our SMS API into your ASP.NET application and enjoy our SMS services. 


1.    Register an account from Exabytes Bulk SMS Marketing Solutions.

  <% type = 1  sendid = 123456  message = "Hello this is a test message" 

  message = Server.urlencode(message)         

  from = "SMS"     

  address = "https://smsportal.exabytes.my/isms_send.php"  uname = "yourusername"                    

  pword = "yourpassword"                  

  selectednums = "yournumber"              

  url = 

  address & "?un=" & uname & 

  "&pwd=" & pword & 

  "&msg=" & message &_ 

  "&from=" & from & "

  &dstno=" & selectednums & 

  "&type=" & type &_ 

  "&sendid=" & sendid

  set xmlhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

  xmlhttp.open "GET", url, false

  xmlhttp.send ""                  

  msg = xmlhttp.responseText 

  response.write(msg)                  

  set xmlhttp = nothing 

  %> 


         
Send SMS with Java   

Java is popular programming language and it can be used to develop many applications and solutions.

To be able to send SMS messages, its capabilities need to be extended to communicate with mobile

networks through Exabytes gateway. 

 

Below, you can go through the scripts and API keys used to send SMS using Java. 


1.    Register an account from Exabytes Bulk SMS Marketing Solutions. 



2.    Now you are ready.

 

  The phone number parameter can be comma separated value, for instance "0123456789,0134567890".


  For sending to one recipient, pass the phone no as "01234567890" 


1.    Change the un (username) 

2.    Change pwd (password) with your username and password 

3.    Change the dstno (destination number) to your destination number with full country code 

  

  import java.io.*; import java.net.*;

  public class exabytes { public static void main(String[] args)

  throws Exception {

  try { 

  String user = "isms"; //user isms username 

  String pass = "isms"; //user isms password 

  String dstno = "6016xxxxxxx"; //You are going compose a message to this destination number. 

  String str = "你好吗?"; //Your message over here 

  String msg = str.replace(" ", "%20");

  int type = 2; //for unicode change to 2, normal will the 1. 

  String sendid = "exabytes"; //Malaysia does not support sender id yet. 

  // Send data 

  URL myUrl = new URL("https://smsportal.exabytes.my/isms_send.php?un=" + user + 

  "&pwd=" + pass 

  + "&dstno=" + dstno + "&msg=" + msg + "&type=" + type + "&sendid=" + sendid);

  URLConnection conn =myUrl.openConnection();

  conn.setDoOutput(true); 

  // Get the response 

  BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));

  String line;

  while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) { 

  // Print the response output... 

  System.out.println(line); 

  } 

  rd.close(); 

  System.out.println(myUrl); } catch (Exception e) { 

  e.printStackTrace(); 

  } 

  } 

  }

3.    Change the dstno (destination number) to your destination number with full country code 

 

#include #include int main () 

HINSTANCE result; 

result=ShellExecute(NULL,NULL,"https://smsportal.exabytes.my/isms_send.php?un=xxxxx &pwd=xxx&dstno=xxxxxxxxxxx&msg=xxxxxx&type=1&sendid=xxxxx",

NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWDEFAULT); 

if ((int)result<=32) 

std::cout << "Error!\nReturn value: " << (int)result << "\n"; return 0;

Function of Bulk SMS Task Scheduler

How to create Bulk SMS Task Scheduler with PHP code   

1.    Register an account from Exabytes Bulk SMS Marketing Solutions. 



2.    Creating PHP file.


  Create a PHP file with the file name below. You may use any file name. It is advisable to create a


  without any empty spacing in the name. 



 

 3.    Bulk SMS API Scheduler PHP Coding 


   <?php 

   $username = "exabytes"; 

   $password = "exabytes"; 

   $dstno = 6016xxxxxxx; 

   $msg = "text message over here"; 

   $det = "TEST"; 

   $tr = "weekly"; 

   $type = 1; 

   $senderid = "exabytes"; 

   $date = "2013-06-16"; 

   $hour = 12; 

   $min = 45; 

   $week = 1; 

   $month = 1; 

   $day = 1; 

   $sendlink =  

   "https://smsportal.exabytes.my/isms_scheduler.php?un=".urlencode($username)."&pwd="                                     .urlencode($password)."&dstno=".$dstno."&msg=".urlencode($msg)."&det=".

   urlencode($det)."&tr=".$tr."&type=".$type."&sendid=".urlencode($senderid)."&date=".

   $date."&hour=".$hour."&min=". 

   $min."&week=".$week."&month=".$month."&day=".$day; 

   $handle = fopen($sendlink, "r"); 

   if ($handle) { while (($buffer = fgets($handle, 4096)) !== false)

   { echo "This is your task scheduler ID :"       .$buffer; 

   } if (!feof($handle)) { echo "Error: unexpected fgets() fail\n"; 

   } fclose($handle); 

   }

   ?> 

 

  After running the PHP file, a HTTP request will be initated and the browser address bar will

  displayed the address as below: 


  https://smsportal.exabytes.my/isms_scheduler.php?un=exabytes&pwd=

  exabytes&dstno=601xxxxxx&msg=hello&det=TEST&tr=onetime&type=1&sen did=exabytes&date=

  2013-06-14&hour=08&min=15&week=1&month=1&day=1 

 


4.    It works! The task scheduler is created. 


 

How to Update Bulk SMS Task Scheduler With PHP Code 

Besides creating Bulk SMS Task Scheduler using PHP, you can also update the task using similar methods. 

 

1.    Register an account from Exabytes Bulk SMS Marketing Solutions.

 

2.    Integrate Bulk SMS Task Scheduler PHP code into PHP file. 



 



  After retrieving the SCID, go to your PHP file and add in the code, as shown in the illustration below. 



 



  <?php 

  $username = "exabytes"; 

  $password = "exabytes123"; 

  $dstno = 601xxxxxxx; 

  $msg = "testing message"; 

  $det = "description"; 

  $tr = "onetime"; 

  $type = 1; 

  $senderid = "exabytes"; 

  $date = "2013-12-12"; 

  $hour = 12; 

  $min = 15; 

  $week = 1; 

  $month = 1; 

  $day = 1; 

  $scid = 12345 ; //scid get from the task scheduler you created 

  $action = "update"; 

  $sendlink="https://smsportal.exabytes.my/isms_scheduler.php?un=".urlencode($usernam

  e)."&pwd=".urlencode($password)."&dstno=" 

  .$dstno."&msg=".urlencode($msg)."&det=".urlencode($det)."&tr=".$tr."&type=".$type." &sendid=" 

  .urlencode($senderid)."&date=".$date."&hour=".$hour."&min=".$min."&week=".$week."&m onth=" 

  .$month."&day=".$day."&scid=".$scid."&action=".$action; fopen($sendlink, "r"); 

  ?> 

 

  After SCID is amended, you can run the PHP file. A HTTP request will be initiated and the


  browser address bar. 

 


3.    It works! Bulk SMS API Task Scheduler is amended. 


  As you you log in again to check your bulk SMS task scheduler, the trigger and details has changed.


  This means you have successfully updated the task. 

 

  

 

How to Delete Bulk SMS Task Scheduler with PHP Code 

Delete task scheduler requires similar methods as updating task scheduler. You will need the

SDID to delete the specific task that is created. 

 

1.    Register an account from Exabytes Bulk SMS Marketing Solutions. 



2.    Delete bulk SMS task scheduler PHP coding. 


  Add the PHP code below into your PHP file. 


  <?php 

  $username = "exabytes"; 

  $password = "exabytes"; 

  $scid = 56442; 

  $action = "delete"; 

  $sendlink                                                    = 

  "https://smsportal.exabytes.my/isms_scheduler.php?un=".urlencode($username)."&pwd="

  .urlencode($password)."&scid=".$scid."&action=".$action; fopen($sendlink, "r"); 

  ?> 

 


3.    Success! The bulk SMS task scheduler is deleted. 


  After SCID is amended, you can run the PHP file in your browser. 



 



  A HTTP request will be initated and the browser address bar will displayed the address as below. 

 

  https://smsportal.exabytes.my/isms_scheduler.php?un =

  exabytes&pwd=exabytes&scid=123456&action=delete 

  

  If you login to your Exabytes Bulk SMS account, you will find that the task scheduler has been deleted


  from the SMS system.
