Hie Gurus I hope I find you well. I hope someone out there has done this before. I have a GPRS or GSM Modem that I want to use to receive sms on my computer. I tested the concept and It worked using an application supplied with the GSM Modem. My problem is I want the smses in a database. I don’t know how to go about. Anybody who knows how I can do this. If there are VB components that I can use to pick these smses into a table Thanks in advance Lackson

Hi i did it before your openion

Every device is different but usually they use AT command port=20
If your device is support At command mode, yes you can read and send SMS =
via
GSM modem.

First of all You are connect to At command port (usually it is be Serial
port Com3-com4)
After that you send AT command to gsm modem port

AT+CMGR : read message
command : AT+CMGR=3D

Lackson,

try this application:
MarketSMS at: http://www.riasc.net/files/MarketSMS10.zip

I think that is what you want…
