Mass SMS Message Example

[Captain_Kirby]

Overview

This VI sends a text message to any number of cellular phones capable of receiving text messages on most major service providers by sending SMS messages over the SMS server.

Description

This VI uses the SMTP VIs in LabVIEW to send a text message to any number of recipients. It works for most major cell phone carriers by interfacing with their SMS server email address. The exact provider domains are implemented in a combo box.

The SMTP VI requires a mail server address. These are usually in the form of mail.server.com. The SMTP email VI provided with LabVIEW does not allow connection to any SMTP server that requires authentication or encryption (at least not natively.) This eliminates the use of this example with GMAIL. The example will also not work with Hotmail since it does not have any traditional SMTP server (all access is through HTTP.) Be carefully of authentication and port requirements of your specific server.

Requirements to Run

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Enter values for Subject, Return Address, Mail Server, Phone Number, and Provider.
2. Add the desired text to the Text Message field.
3. Run the code using the Run arrow on the LabVIEW toolbar.

The mass SMS services are super helpful for brands to notify their potential customers about their products or services that they are offering. The best thing is that it is an affordable approach. Even I am successfully utilizing the package that has been made especially for text marketing for real estate agents. Very happy with the features.
