RE: i5 text message solution -- MIDRANGE-L

<vendor>
We offer a POP400 product that receives email to a stream file, logs to a database table, and calls your exit. Your exit can do anything it wants with the email. Security exposure is limited to what you do in the exit.

Booth,

I contacted Message-Media, they offer a simple cloud "gateway" solution. We could use either SNDDST or SNDSMTPEMM, for 1 way text messaging.
2 way text messaging is another animal. To receive responses, I believe we would have to configure AS/400 to be a POP3 mail server, possible security issues.
Has anyone done this or receiving email on the AS/400.

Message-Media Response - How Email to SMS will work:
1) We would register an email address to allow access to our gateway to send messages. The format would be 1xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx. You would be sending MessageMedia an email we would convert to a text message. No need to know the carrier we would handle that. You can register as many email address as you like to send us messages. Ie. info@xxxxxxxxxx. If you want to demo it, all I would need is the email address you want registered and I would set up a test account

We do offer a 2-way option, the end user can respond to the text message and we would push back that message to the email account it came from. Now after talking you mentioned you would have to then get that message to your AS/400 system. That would require some work on your end. We can get it back to the email, you would need to push it to your system. There is no additional cost for replies, we give them for free.

Thanks
Paul

We would like start sending text messages from our i5 OS billing system to our customers. The problem is that we don't know the customer's cell provider and this is needed to send a text.

Examples
Verizon - phonenumber@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:phonenumber@xxxxxxxxx>
AT&T- phonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:phonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxx>
T-Mobile - phonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:phonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Sprint -
phonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:phonenumber@messaging.sprin

Are there any iSeries solutions available for this?

Thank You
