How to send SMS to the company's server?

Question

PHP

There is a customer base. Each client sends SMS to the company number. How to make a mark in mysql that the SMS was sent by the client? How to "make friends" php, mysql and sms?

Answer 1

Of the quick options - you can use some inexpensive paid short number as a company number. The operators that provide the service have human APIs.
The hardware-related option is to use desktop software and a phone/modem physically connected to the server. For example simplesms.ru/proc2.html , tails-up.blogspot.ru/2012/07/sms-gsm-c.html , etc. to Google (requests "receiving sms to computer", "gsm modem receiving sms")
Option if you have huge volumes - go to a cellular provider and ask for access via the SMPP protocol :)
Accordingly, having already received SMS data - putting them in a sql database is a trivial matter.
