(keitai-l) Re: Connect imode phone to pc/server

Dear Nik and Curt

Thanks for your input, I need to send SMS. So, PHS is out.

Nik, your insight is helpful.  Yes, we are looking at the industrial devices
or DoPa or Foma & Vodafone data cards.  Do you where we can find/buy them?
Appreciate the URL.

We are aware of the spam issue and we are not planning for that.  We are
looking at enterprise usage where they can send short messages/push in a SMS
like method.  Eg, you can send a short message to your sales/technical field
support team.  We need to send from a PC where Internet is not present.
Hence, we are actually simulating a 'phone-to-phone' message sending
(peer-to-peer) but done via PC (connected to a phone).  So, it is used for a
good nature and focus on improving business productivity.

Can we get more insight on the devices (data card or industrial unit) and
how do we send the messages in a SMS like or email.

Thanks.

JS,
I think you need to be clear that i-mode is simply the name of the portal
that DoCoMo subscribers use to access content.  It is carried on a wireless
network called a PDC-P(PDC packet), which DoCoMo calls 'DoPa', and uses a
transport protocol called the light transport protocol until it gets into a
DCM gateway, which then connects to an IP network, and there are industrial
devices used in vending machines which use this network to communicate using
TCP/IP. These devices are not particularly expensive. There are also Foma
data cards, as well as DoPa data cards, though of course
<shameless_plug>Vodafone's new 3G datacard is in every way
preferable</shameless_plug>.
Just don't think about 'i-mode', because it won't help unless you are asking
how to send mail that *looks like* it is from an i-mode phone, but is
actually sent from a computer. The only reason I can think someone would
want to do that is for spamming, so I don't think I can help you unless you
can explain what you would like to do.

I am looking at a imode phone device that can connect to my pc/server to
send messages (sms like) or email for machine-to-machine communication.
Connection can be serial (rs232) or USB.

Any industrial strength unit like a imode modem?

Please point to the product and web site. it will be good if you have
personal experience on that.  I suppose they are using the system for imode
payment like vending machine, etc.

Thanks.
