We have a windows2000 server with IIS 5.0. We have a cell phone service in Mumbai (Bombay), India with 1 relevant messagecenter number. Can anyone tell me how I can send/ receive an SMS alert from my asp application on a form being filled. currentlythe form filled triggers an email each to the webmaster and the user. I wish to trigger an SMS atleast to the webmaster on the said form being filled.

There are two ways you can do this:
Assuming that the cell phone service provider allows email-to-cell phone messaging like the US service providers do, you can send an email to that cell number using the format 12345678901234@serviceprovider.addr.
If that is not an option, take a look at www.Simplewire.com which allows clients to send SMS messages via their servers. I know they have a Java API, I am not sure if they have VB or VC APIs. I am sure there are others like them. But I like their API and are easy to work with.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for the help. However, at this point of time I am looking at a simple solution which offers me atleast 15 messages absolutely free. My work will exclusively be in ASP 3.0. In case the demo works fine, I shall be eager to purchase the software.
