Clarion SMS demo example – transmission error issue

Does anyone use the SMS demo app supplied with the clarion examples? I have tried to incorporate the send SMS template and feature in my app but it errors out with a transmission error

Capesoft Winevent can SMS

Sort of. WinEvent can communicate with an SMS modem. You need the hardware.its not a software solution.

As far as i recall, the Clarion function made use of an email-to-sms system, but was very dependent on the carriers. Its probably not suitable anymore.

These days you can use an SMS service like Twilio or similar, using a www client class. There are many such services available depending on your location, so google a bit to find one you like.

The easiest way to send SMS from your app is to use an “email to SMS” service provider in your location.

Then you can send an SMS by simply sending an email. Your app will obviously need an email sending mechanism to do so.
