GoogleVoiceSMS

Post by MikeTelis » Sat Sep 19, 2009 2:36 pm

It would be nice to have yet another GV application sending free text messages. Now that you have the code to login to GV website, it's only one step to send SMS request...

Something like this:

sys.GoogleVoiceSMS(GVLogin, GVPassword, PhoneNum, Text)

How would you use this

I have a siemens s68h wireless phone with sms function

but when I register my phone to a voip provider the sms function is disabled

so if you would send an sms message you have to login to your dialplan to change the text of the sms message

or would you use it only to send missed calls or something

In my case I can send sms messages trough voicetrading using the HttpGet function (bit sadly not trough my phone)

I was going to use it for missed calls notifications and (probably) some failures like "SIP provider's down". So, it's pretty much the same as sys.EMail or sys.GTalk, but works even if you're offline.

But it's not free of course

Try sending a text to your phone. Officially, GV texts to US cell phones only, but it also works for many (but not all) other destinations :)

As far as I remember, Google Voice verifies your IP only once, upon registration. Once you setup your GV account, you can use it everywhere, no IP check.

Is there any reason why you couldn't get a DID from IPKall, forward it directly to your ATA, and then use that to sign up with GV?
