Sending sms using c#.NET
SMS is rapidly becoming a major medium of communication. In todays world we come across many examples of services which use SMS as a medium for communication like the polls in different news channels or exams results via SMS. Behind all these services there lies a software which automates the whole process of sending and recieving a SMS.This article discusses a code of a similar software written in C#.NET that sends a sms via a cell phone connected to the COM port. This software makes use of AT commands to send instructions to the cell phone from the computer and requires no third party dll's.

The code given below sends AT commands to a mobile phone connected to the computer via the COM port and sends a SMS message to the number specified by the user.
