SMS plug-in?

[vasilek]

Is there a plug-in that sends SMS (text messaging) from FileMaker?

i am also looking for the same plug-in, if ever you find one first, i would be very glad if you share it with me, i will do the same thing for you.

We have just developed a telephony plugin for FileMaker (it is under beta testing right now. If you want to check it out its at http://www.fptelephony.com) that allows you to interact with the phone system using tapi. I did a bit of research and I found that to add SMS functionality to our plugin would not be a large amount of work.

If I was to receive enough feedback that this would be a feature that many people would want, I would certainly consider adding it. I could not justify the effort and expense though if it would only be useful to a couple people. Let me know at [email protected] if you would buy a plugin with this feature.

You can use this plug-in to post the text message to the provider's web site by breaking down their submission form. This works with most providers. We understand that Sprint no longer supports this ability, but we have been succesful with most of the other major providers.
