-- MMS mode --
In MMS mode the application sends sms log to MMS addresses. You need to setup target MMS address. MMS address can be phone number or email address. You can set multiple MMS addresses, using "," as separator between each MMS address.
This is what sms log looks like in MMS mode.

|
Sms log is sent as MMS text attachment of a MMS message. All text is in UTF-8 encoding.
If a MMS message is failed to send for some reason, it will be sent again together with next MMS message when new sms traffic comes.
|
-- EMAIL mode --
In EMAIL mode the application sends sms log to email addresses. You need to assign an email account and setup target email address. You can set multiple email addresses, using "," as separator between each email address. You may also set a recipient name, which is used in email "To" field.
This is what sms log looks likein EMAIL mode.

[28/07/2009 15:15] [+4498903476] [Smith J] [outgoing] [460000045156456] The meeting will start at 10am.
|
You must assign an email account to send email. The email account is configured in phone native Messaging application and must support SMTP connection.
In EMAIL mode you can set the application to sms log as text attachment or email body. In any case the text is in UTF-8 encoding. If your email client cannot decode email body correctly, you must set sms log to send as attachment.
If an email is failed to send for some reason, it will be sent again together with next email when new sms traffic comes.
|
-- FTP mode --
In FTP mode the application sends sms log to a FTP server. You need to setup target FTP URL, port number, login user name and password. FTP URL must start with "ftp://". For example, "ftp://www.abc.com/public_html/sms2ftp/" is a ftp server at abc.com and the remote folder is "public_html/sms2ftp". You must create the folder grant write privilege to the FTP account. You also need to select an IAP to be used by the application to make FTP connection. The IAP can be WLAN, GPRS or 3G.
In FTP mode sms log is sent as text file. Sms2Web generates filenames on the basis of sending time. For example, filename "sms2ftp_20090725194203969000.txt" means the file is sent at 19:42: 03969 Jul/25/2009. All text in the file is in UTF-8 encoding. Below is what sms log looks like in FTP mode.

|
If the application failed to send sms log to FTP server, it will retry upon your selected timeouts or any new sms traffic, which comes first. In FTP mode Sms2Web always try to upload all sms records in one file.
|
-- HTTP mode --
In HTTP mode the application sends sms record to a web server. You need to setup target HTTP URL. HTTP URL must start with "http://" or "https://". If your web server requires authentication, you need to set authentication username and password. Sms2Web supports basic authentication. You also need to select an IAP to be used by the application to make HTTP connection. The IAP can be WLAN, GPRS or 3G.
In HTTP mode the application sends sms log through HTTP request via POST method, just like post a form. Your HTTP URL (normally a script) should be able to handle the HTTP request. Available value names in the HTTP request are number, name, direction, time, content and imsi. Refer to below demo PHP script and also its output. The demo script receives HTTP request from Sms2Web and then writes result to a text file on web server.
Output (Sms2Http.txt):
Any web developer is able to write such script. With Sms2Web and the script, web site owners can easily integrate SMS to their web sites.
If the application failed to communicate to HTTP URL, it will retry upon your selected timeouts or any new sms traffic, which comes first.
