I'm triyng to devellop a app (Windows Forms VB NET) that sends sms using a
mobile phone connected to the PC or a GSM modem. Where can i find a sample of
how to do this? The only examples i find ara about the Compact Framework...

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance...

Here is an example of calling a web service. I don't know how reliable this
web service is though.

I'm asking around now, hopefully I will have a better answer for you
tomorrow.

Here are two things that I got back from others. I don't know if they will
completely help you but I wanted to pass them on.

One person pointed me to download the "Office 2003 Add-in: Microsoft Outlook
SMS Add-in (MOSA)" from

I haven't tried it but supposedly you can send SMS from Outlook via a phone
connected to the PC. There may be more documentation that can help there.

The other person suggested that there are more Web Services to do this and
provided the following link. You may need to search for SMS.

Please let me know if either of these work out for you.
