SMS with Ability to Reply

Tom Juric

I use Richard's code to send SMS messages to a phone from my computer Access program. Does anyone know of a way to send SMS texts using VBA that will allow the recipient to reply to my text sending it to MY cell phone? I've tried reply to my own text sent using Richard's code but nothing happened. My client would love to send a text from his computer AND receive the reply on his phone.

Any ideas on what to do or where to look?

Did you check if the service you are using has the ability?

Didn't even think that avenue. I'll check it out but I could still use any other ideas. All y'all have great ideas so far

You could use an API with a service like Twilio. I know they have functions for sending and receiving texts. I've been thinking about putting together something on this because a few people have asked about it.
