SMS working but have a question

  • I signed up through a 3rd party service so that I could sms a post through my phone. It works wonderful but I want a way to send a pic to wp and have it post it. How can I do this and/or what plugin should I use?

    Thanks!

    Anyone??

    Well first of all obviously you need to be able to send a picture via sms, which isn’t possible as far as I am aware. If you have the ability to send an MMS or email from your phone then set up a specific blog email address (ie, don’t give the address out to everyone) and look at how to get WP to check that email address for new mail to post.

    The email server needs to support pop3, or have a look at https://economysizegeek.com/wp-mail/ I installed postie from there yesterday and it checks my gmail account every five minutes or so, I’ve posted a photo and a video from my phone, works fine. Doesn’t cost me anything except the cost of the mms from my phone, and I get a certain amount free anyway.
    Hope that helps.

    I discussed the great opportunity to interlink blogs and mobile text messaging I have now implemented a very basic solution on my blog.

    https://www.jlsnet.co.uk/blog/?p=126

    Setup: I used a Enfora SA GSM Modem and along with SQL2GSM Software was able to implement a simple forwarding rule, which, when a Text Message is recieved with a prefix of “blog”, will interact with my WordPress Database to add a blog comment.

    https://www.jlsnet.co.uk/index.php?tab=3&page=projects_sms2blog

    How to Comment: Blog readers can send a text to my number on the blog, starting with the word “blog” followed by the blog post ID (end number of post url), a colon and then the comment message, for example “blog 126: Hello World”.

    The text message above will post a comment to this blog (entry 126). You will then shortly recieve a “Thank you for your comment.” reply and your text message will appear in the blog comments.
