Hello people

I'm making a security layer for my computer where it sends an SMS with a code in it to my mobile phone.
I then have to enter the code into the textbox to unlock my computer.

CONDITIONS NEEDED IF YOU'RE GOING TO POST CODE OR LINKS [which would be very nice of you]:
*The code cannot rely on registration to websites that send SMS's
*My mobile is NOT connected in any way to my computer-i just want to msg it.
*You must not be mean to me for being picky :)

My form will have 2 textboxes (or maybe 3 if you need a service centre number)

Thanks in advance.

Can an SMS be sent from VB? That is your question? The answer is yes, yes you can.

soooooooooooooooo...
how?

That was not your question now was it?

How? You write some code that is how.

yes, but using your, now, uncommon sense, you should infer that I know that you can send SMS with VB.Net, but I need code.
If i wanted to know if it was possible i would google "send SMS vb" and see at least 1 result.
I would appreciate it if you could be more useful if you're going to visit codeproject.

VB or VB.NET? Your question is tagged "VB.NET" but you wrote "from VB?"

If you use VB.NET, have a look here:

If you use VB, have a look here:

thanks for the links; i have re-written my question so please reply from reading it

Thomas Daniels 6-May-13 11:30am

Does the code of the links work?

[no name] 7-May-13 12:50pm

no-my phone will not be attached via any ports whatsoever.
I have a phone, i want to SMS it.
So i cannot have any code that replies on attachments.

I found no other links than I wrote already in my answer, I'm sorry.

[no name] 17-May-13 13:01pm

So i'm guessing that you think those other links work wirelessly?
(which would be exactly what i want)

I don't know, you should try it.
