Okay, solved this one myself, and I gotta say, it came out pretty cool.. Here's what I did for those interested. Created Some Tables employees: all basic fields that you'd have for company employees plus these two emailToText: (have all employees send a text with their name to your email address, this is the reply address) catageries: this is a lookup wizard checkbox field that allows multiple input and is linked to employee groups table. employeeGroups table just has a single field: categories textBlast has 5 fields: name readonly: $_SESSION["UserName"] dateTime readonly: now() subject: textfield message: text area group dropdown: link table employeeGroups, categories So all I had to do was write this event code for textBlast table, add page, before record added

Thanks Walk2fly, I'll look into that.. |

Thanks Walk2fly, I'll look into that.. I thought I'd add something to augment my solution. It turns out that there are essentially two different email-to-text addresses for most phone companies. T-Mobile has the same address for both SMS and MMS but the others differ and I've found that the SMS ones work better for the purposes of my code, especially if you want the message recipients to be able to reply back to you. Here are the basic rules: AT&T SMS Gateway Address:10DigitPhoneNumber@txt.att.net AT&T MMS Gateway Address:10DigitPhoneNumber@mms.att.net Sprint SMS Gateway Address:10DigitPhoneNumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com Sprint MMS Gateway Address:10DigitPhoneNumber@pm.sprint.com Verizon SMS Gateway Address:10DigitPhoneNumber@vtext.com Verizon MMS Gateway Address:10DigitPhoneNumber@vzwpix.com T-Mobile SMS Gateway Address:10DigitPhoneNumber@tmomail.net T-Mobile MMS Gateway Address:10DigitPhoneNumber@tmomail.net Also, I found this great little tool to determine which carrier a given number is subscribed to.. Who would've thought that information would be available, let alone free?.. Check it out! Free Carrier Lookup Anyway, the (construction) company absolutely loves this method of communicating immediately with an unlimited number of different groups of employees. Cheers.

Funny, my code completely eliminates the part of that code that actually costs money.. One could easily do that for free now, but I'm not sure that it would be very useful since the logged in user already has access to the database on their phone.. With today's phones, and bootstrap layout, the texting doesn't seem to be all that advantageous. A few years back, for sure.. I'll probably just keep using it as a quick mass-communication tool, but can't wait to see what you're hinting at <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=81865&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

quote Last year, Twilio began allowing developers to embed videoconferencing within any app. IBM uses the function in a new service called Bluemix that enables doctors at a specialized cancer clinic in Texas to video-chat directly with patients, eliminating long commutes for routine checkups. unquote Well, Ed, the rails are laid down to let your foremen run Video-Chats with construction workers via TWILIO, or say, TWILIO is for developers while yours FREE ones are for the impoverished masses. TWILIO enjoyed a quarter 2016 revenue jump of 62% to $72m or in other words, in short ..., IDEAS are capital, the rest is just money ..., and if you add strong support to your already money spinning IDEAS, your profits are definitely going quickly through the roof. Further, I fully agree, SMS oriented gold rush hours are definitely over <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=81907&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> P.S.
