Question

What are the possible ways to send and receive sms from Java application   How

User · Answer

It depends on how you re going to work and who your provider is    If you work with a sms-gateway company you ll probably work through SMPP protocol  3 4 is still the most common   then have a look on OpenSMPP and jSMPP  These are powerful libs to work with SMPP   If you re going to work with your own hardware  f e  a gsm-modem  the easiest way to send messages is through AT commands  they differ depends on the model  so  you should find out what AT commands is supported by your modem  Next  if your modem has an IP and open to connection  you can send commands through java socket  Socket smppSocket   new Socket  YOUR MODEM IP   YOUR MODEM PORT   DataOutputStream os   new DataOutputStream smppSocket getOutputStream     DataInputStream is   new DataInputStream smppSocket getInputStream      os write some byte array     is readLine      Otherwise you ll work through a COM port  but the method is the same  sending AT commands   you can find more information how to work with serial ports here

TextMarks gives you access to its shared shortcode to send and receive text messages from your app via their API   Messages come from to 41411  instead of e g  a random phone  and unlike e-mail gateways you have the full 160 chars to work with    You can also tell people to text in your keyword s  to 41411 to invoke various functionality in your app   There is a JAVA API client along with several other popular languages and very comprehensive documentation and technical support   The 14 day free trial can be easily extended for developers who are still testing it out and building their apps   Check it out here   TextMarks API Info

The best SMS API I ve seen in Java is JSMPP  It is powerful  easy to use  and I used it myself for an enterprise-level application  sending over 20K SMS messages daily       This API created to reduce the verbosity of the existing SMPP API    It s very simple and easy to use because it hides the complexity of   the low level protocol communication such as automatically enquire   link request-response     https   code google com p jsmpp    I ve tried some other APIs such as Ozeki  but most of them either is commercial or has limitation in its throughput  i e can t send more than 3 SMS messages in a second  for example

You can use Twilio for this  But if you are looking for some tricky workaround you can follow the workaround I have mentioned below   This is not possible for receiving sms  But this is a tricky method you can use to send sms to number of clients  You can use twitter API  We can follow twitter account from our mobile phone with a sms  We just have to send sms to twitter  Imagine we create a twitter account with the user name of  username  Then we can send sms to 40404 as shown below   follow  username  Then we start to get tweets which are tweeted in that account   So after we create a twitter account then we can use Twitter API to post tweets from that account  Then all the clients who have follow that account as I mentioned before start to receiving tweets   You can learn how to post tweets with twitter API from following link    Twitter API  Before you start developing you have to get permission to use twitter api  You can get access to twitter api from following link    Twitter Developer Console  This is not the best solution for your problem But hope this help

I suggest a cloud based solution like Twilio  Cloud based solutions are cost-effective  than an in-house solution as the there is no ongoing maintenance  required  SMS through email is not an elegant solution  as you have to get the carrier information from the user and you can never be sure that you can text all mobile numbers  I am using twilio java api in my web application  to send sms from serverside  within few minutes  you can integrate with your app   https   www twilio com docs java install  Here s an example sending an SMS message from the docs   import com twilio sdk TwilioRestClient  import com twilio sdk TwilioRestException  import com twilio sdk resource factory MessageFactory  import com twilio sdk resource instance Message  import org apache http NameValuePair  import org apache http message BasicNameValuePair   import java util ArrayList  import java util List   public class Example         Find your Account Sid and Token at twilio com user account   public static final String ACCOUNT SID       account sid        public static final String AUTH TOKEN       auth token         public static void main String   args  throws TwilioRestException       TwilioRestClient client   new TwilioRestClient ACCOUNT SID  AUTH TOKEN           Build a filter for the MessageList     List lt NameValuePair gt  params   new ArrayList lt NameValuePair gt         params add new BasicNameValuePair  Body    Test Twilio message         params add new BasicNameValuePair  To     14159352345         params add new BasicNameValuePair  From     14158141829          MessageFactory messageFactory   client getAccount   getMessageFactory        Message message   messageFactory create params       System out println message getSid
