I am trying to set up an SMS gateway on my computer

here's some code I found:

AT
OK
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CMGL="ALL"
+CMGL: 1,"REC READ","+85291234567",,"06/11/11,00:30:29+32"
Hello, welcome to our SMS tutorial.
+CMGL: 2,"REC READ","+85291234567",,"06/11/11,00:32:20+32"
A simple demo of SMS text messaging.

OK

can this be done in windows?

what steps do I have to take in order to set this up?

wh开发者_C百科at is the compiler?

how do I get started?

These are AT commands, which are used with modems (or cell phones) who support that interface.

If you cell phone is connected to your computer by serial, you can open a HyperTerminal/Telnet/etc and communicate with it via AT commands.

There is no compiler or such, as this is merely a protocol for communicating with supporting devices.
