Hello people,

As y'all know that im new to this PPC development, Ive been into a new project to send sms for Birthdays and other reminders automatically..
Im planning to do with my only known language of Visual Basic .net and that too 2003 edition as i couldnt afford the latest 2005 edition..

So my plans to follow these steps..
-To send sms at the specific time (Accomplished)
-To set a database and store the sms events and so many sms events are handled
-To get the dates from Pocket Outlook database and add to mine
-Well it keeps goin as updates then

So any comments, suggestions and ideas are welcomed!

Regards
Carty..

I use the application to run always in the background and check for the time every minute and if it matched, to send the sms.. This method not working when the device is in sleep mode :( So pls help me..

Hi Carty,
I wonder that whether your project completed or not. I have the same idea with you and I search your topic . I think this is a useful chalenge for novices who want to get into the world of PPC application.

I'm trying develop an application for sending and reading SMS automatically. I would appreciate if you could give me some guide lines how to send/receive sms, etc.

For the problem of your application with background process, I think that you may think of the alarm function , it also runs while the device is sleeping.

Tks n best regards.
