Re: [Sandbox] Web SMS
 
I'm the original developer of webtexter, and the thread starter (cocayden) has helped provide support for a provider called exetel.

The first goal was to allow the sending of web sms easily which I hope I've done for the supported providers. Similar to what Shane said above the ultimate goal would be to have some kind of telepathy plugin but I don't know enough about it to do one. But if someone started one I'd be willing to try add support for some of the providers that webtexter supports.

Hello,

I've created another project called Web2SMS. It's main goal is portability on most platforms. But I'm also interested in a telepathy plugin for websms with clean interface for all our providers.

For those who want to blame me creating a new SMS tool project, please read my release notes first.

I'm not going to compete with webtexter.

That looks interesting gri. I had considered QT when I started webtexter but because I felt the documentation was better for GTK I went for that.

The fact you integrate with the webtexter providers is very interesting, and could possibly allow for us to join forces to try get one app that can do as many providers as possible.

i would have thought people would have been looking for a web based mms solution seeing as sms can be sent from phone and most mobile providers via there websites

Webtexter and web2sms use the providers website to send the sms, but simplify the process by auto logging in and allowing you to access your phone's contacts, save sent messages etc.

Nice service. Did you try it? I don't trust sites without any legal information or company details.
