Has anybody been able to get clickatell sendmsg to work with Telecom phones? I am using the HTTP/S API functions. It seems to work ok with Vodafone but not Telecom.

Wondering if I am missing something in the query string?

Cheers

Works for me just fine. Actually just sent a test message to both my Pocket PCs (Apache and Jasjar) and it was faster to arrive at Telecom's...

Also using the HTTP API.

With some changes, using VBSCRIPT on ASP 2.0:

XMLToSend = "api_id=[your_id]&user=[your_user]&password=[your_password]&to=[destination_number]&text=[content_to_send]&from=[yourstring]"
Set htobj = Server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
htobj.Open "POST", "http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg", false
htobj.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
htobj.Send XMLToSend
Send = htobj.ResponseText
Set htobj = Nothing

It will send:

http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg?api_id=[your_id]&user=[your_user]&password=[your_password]&to=[destination_number]&text=[content_to_send]&from=[yourstring]

c# code

public static string SendTxt(string cellNumber, string message)
        {
            WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
            webClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727;)");

            webClient.QueryString.Add("user", userName);
            webClient.QueryString.Add("password", passWord);
            webClient.QueryString.Add("api_id", id);
            webClient.QueryString.Add("to", cellNumber);
            webClient.QueryString.Add("text", message);
            webClient.QueryString.Add("from", phoneNum);
            webClient.QueryString.Add("req_feat", "32");

            string baseURL = "http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg";

            Stream data = webClient.OpenRead(baseURL);
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data);

            string response = reader.ReadToEnd();
            data.Close();
            reader.Close();

            return response;
        }

Like I say works with Voda not Telecom. Number format is 6427xxxxx

You may find that your account settings are preventing it.
I think the default is to not allow multi-credit messages to go.

As telecom messages cost more, you need to enable that option.
I can't remember where it is exactly, but its fairly simple to locate.
