• Receive SMS messages in a web application in the US on a hosted server 5 answers

I will be setting up a website hosted on GoDaddy in the near future. However, one of the key components to making this website work is it's reliance on text messages coming from my phone. I will use SMS messaging to text my server with specific updates (example: "on route," "no longer delivering," etc). The idea is I text a specific address and the server updates a text file with the specific information from the text message from my phone. Then, when someone goes to the website, it will pull data from the text file to determine the current status and act from there.

How would I set up such a service through a web hosting server? I am familiar with HTML, PHP, and JavaScript, but won't mind learning another language if necessary.

Answer 1

You may be able to use google voice to receive sms messages. You may be able to receive them using pop, imap or xmpp (with varying flexibility on receiving. You would need to have something running on your host provider independent of the web server (or somehow trigger a web page to poll at regular intervals). This would depend on your hosting provider.

Update: I googled for "google voice receive text" and received step by step instructions on how to receive text messages via google voice to email. All you would need to do is connect to gmail (e.g. once per minute) to check if any messages have been received, using imap or pop (you may need to enable imap on gmail too).
