so your saying if i wanted to collect cell numbers from my members and send them text messages from my vb site! its illegal to do this??

i was thinking have a feild in the registration process where the user enters their cell number and choose their provider. then you could send text messages to their phones via the email extension through the provided cell phone carrier.

Yes, but all the soft seems commercial.
It's not so easy as you think. Not just adding one field to the profile.

I've already done it. Sign up sometime and have a play. www.ukairsoft.net

Uses the Simplewire platform to actually send the messages, it integrates heavily with the vBulletin database (and uses 3 of it's own seperately). Each member has an SMS button (next to email, profile, email etc.) as well as being able to send an SMS from the "SMS Centre". It wouldn't take a lot of effort to integrate it completely into vBulletin (templates and all), but I didn't want that. 27,500 lines of code and still improving.

Signup (link on the right), do the usual vBulletin signup, remembering to enter your mobile number in the foot of the 'optional infos' (not mandatory, but it speeds up the SMS signup later on). When you're done, go back to www.ukairsoft.net and click on 'text messaging' under the 'Services' list on the left hand side and sign up to the service. Remember to enter your mobile number WITH THE COUNTRY CODE, e.g. +44 for the UK. You get 50 free credits to play with (good for 25-50 messages, depending where in the world you send them)

Send a message to a forum member.

You'll have to sign up to play with all the other screens. I think the admins here might get peed off if I post any more attachments.

I guess this will be a commercial release?
I'm ready to pay 20$ for it, if it's so, just make it quick, can you?
Or I can make, let's say, the template and desig work and become a co-releaser?!

Just bear in mind I may end up selling the code for $25, but it'll still cost you $500 to use it (SimpleWire licence)

[gmarik]

Any way to get the code for 25$?
I'm readdy to pay for it.
Tell me more about the SimpleWire licence?!
