Send Message From Oracle To Mobile Device

Hello All!

There is a Way to send Message From Oracle Database Server to Mobile Device.

One Way is to Send Email using Oracle SMTP Package - [UTL_SMTP].

Mostly Cellular Service Providers give the Facility to their users to Recieve Email on Post-Paid Connections.
{Mobile_No@Service_Provider_Domain.com} is the E-Mail Address for Post-Paid Connection Holder.
e.g. +923003338669@mobilinkgsm.com.

In this Way, Install/Configure Oracle Database 8.x/9.x/10.x and Create a Package.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/maildemo_sql.txt
             

BEGIN

 demo_mail.mail(

                  sender     => 'Me <me@some-company.com>',

              recipients => 'Someone <Mobile_No@Celluler_Service_Provider_Domain.com>' ,

              subject    => 'SMS From Oracle Database Server',

              message    => 'Hi! This is a test Message.');

END;
Second Way is to Send SMS Using GSM Modem/Mobile Phone & its Supporting Software/Utility.
There are many software/utilities/Tools which can do this, but here i am using a free project.
In this Way, Install/Configure: 
              * Red Hat Linux Operating System

              * Oracle Database 8i/9.x/10.x

              * Gnokii - For Nokia Mobile Phone 

                         

                         Download    : http://gnokii.org/download/gnokii/0.6.x/gnokii-0.6.2.tar.gz

                         Install     : http://urtica.linuxnews.pl/~pkot/gnokii/gnokii.html#ch1 

                         Sample File : http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/gnokii/gnokii/Docs/sample/gnokiirc?rev=1.22

                         User Guide  : http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/User%27s_Guide



              * Nokia Mobile Phone With Data Cable - [http://www.gnokii.org/cables.shtml]
Try to Send SMS Using the Command.

Waseem$ echo "This is a test SMS using Gnokii-Linux..." | gnokii --sendsms +923003338669

Note : Message Length = 160 Characters.

It Will Take 30 - 40 Seconds and will send the SMS to the desired Number.

To Test & Configure it in Oracle Database, you have to Create a Java Class.

http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/8i/ShellCommandsFromPLSQL.php 
        SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000

     CALL DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT(1000000);

          

     BEGIN

          Host_Command (p_command => 'echo "This is a test SMS from Oracle Database." | gnokii --sendsms +923003338669');

     END;

     /
I have tried it on Nokia 6030 and its Working.

    Thanks Muhammad Waseem Haroon,

    I Appreciate your Post. I have studied the material / links provided by you and follwed the steps and successfully implemented it using Nokia 3120.
    Using Nokia 3120 its taking only 8 to 10 seconds per SMS.

    I think, It will be beneficial for all of us to share the experience regarding this Post.

    Thanks.

    Gnokii can only run for Linux OS as it is defined on Gnokii's website.

    You can suppose that Gnokii is an Example and Just Install a software which must be executed by the script for Mobile SMS on any windows or any OS but make sure that the software which you have installed on server side, must be able to be executed by the script then you can implement my above mentioned steps by removing Gnokii commands.

    The Java Class & PL/SQL-API which I have recomended named "host" & "host_command" is not only for Linux based Oracle Database Servers, it can be used for Wondows Based Oracle Database Server which I thing is doing a main role.

    As you Know, that once the Procedure will be executed successfully on any OS based oracle database server with any SMS Utility, you can execute it on any client as well. It does not matter that whatever the OS is installed there.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Thanks for your reply. I've tried the first script provided by you. So far it is showing some transient SMTP error. I'm looking into this. And, thanks for sharing further knowledge with us.

    Regards.

    Hi,

    ............
    .....
    00000
    BEGIN
    demo_mail.mail( sender =>
    'emailer@mailing.com',
    recipients =>
    '+0982044XXXX@hutch.co.in' ,
    subject => 'SMS From
    Oracle Database Server',
    message => 'Hi! This is
    a test Message.');
    END;
    /
    ....
    ....
    ..
    If you are trying to send SMS using my 1st option (Using Oracle SMTP Package) then..... first try to send SMS from "hotmail / yahoo / Gmail / Free Account / Any Email account" to your mobile '+0982044XXXX@hutch.co.in', if it is working from there then I am 100% sure that your procedure will run perfectly.

    Normaly, Mobile Service Provider does not allow users to send email to mobile phone. I don't Know "hutch" is allowing or not. you have to check it with them.

    SMTP Server is required to use UTL_SMTP or Demo_Mail Package. If it is available to you then CUSTOMIZE your Demo_Mail Package Specification.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE demo_mail IS
    
   
    
  ----------------------- Customizable Section -----------------------
    
   
    
  -- Customize the SMTP host, port and your domain name below.
    
  smtp_host   VARCHAR2(256) := 'smtp-server.some-company.com';
    
  smtp_port   PLS_INTEGER   := 25;
    
  smtp_domain VARCHAR2(256) := 'some-company.com';
    
 .. .....
    
..   .. 
    
... ....
    
...  ....
    You can use Microsoft Exchange Server, MDaemon and many more SMTP Software Packages for that......... also there are free SMTP Software Packages are available on "Free Downlolad Websites" which you can download.
