send email with gsm

[jim5 0]

Hi All, I have my plc sending text messages through my maestro gsm modem, when a given input is pulsed.( eventually it will be when an error is flaged). I use AT commands for the modem to use the "phone number" and "message to be sent", and they are stored as ansi II strings in the PLC. Now I'm just wondering how i would send an email. I know it will be practically the same way, but im guessing that there should be an extra AT command for the email address aswell as the phone number. I was in contact with my modile service provider and the gave me a phone number for their sms to email gateway. Hopefully someone can help me with this. Thanks very much.

There shouldn't be any difference in the AT commands. It's going to be a change in the body of the text.

Thanks Jay so is it a case of when i send it to the service providers gateway, that they can read the email address straight from the text. could you give a small example. thanks AT+CMGS=PHONE NUMBER<CR>TEXT MESSAGE<ctrl-z>

Have you tried just uding your own mobile phone to test the email service.....surely an email address would have to be part of the message ??? If that works then i do not think that there would be any differecne in the structure of the ASCII string to the GSM modem.....
