Darn, I had so many other things to do this week. Now I'm going to be fiddling around with this...<br><br>-Pete<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 05/06/07, <b class="gmail_sendername"><a href="mailto:michael@michaelshiloh.com">

This just came across on the SVHMPC list, and it seems to have great<br>potential, even though I haven't taken the time yet to understand it fully.<br>This is what the BT website says:<br><br> Need to integrate highly secure services such as Messaging, Voice, Location,
<br> Authentication, Conference Call, Profile, or Contacts into an application?<br> Now you can with as little as one line of code. We currently offer tools<br> for .Net, Java, PHP, and Python, and we are developing additional innovative
<br> services to allow you to build ever more powerful solutions using BT's<br> global infrastructure.<br><br>Note also that the info comes from a BT employee on the SVHMPC mailing list,<br>so there is a good line of contact from "our" community to BT.

</a><br>Subject: [SVHMPC] BT's 21CN SDK<br><br>I really hate to tout my own company, but I've just been talking to a<br>colleague of mine about the 21CN SDK (21CN is the name BT's giving to<br>this uber IP network). The SDK is available for .NET, java, PHP & python
<br>and uses web services running on an internet-accessible BT server (I.e.<br>anyone can use it). You can do all sorts of things with it, find the<br>location (lat/long) of a GSM mobile, initiate calls, send SMS etc.<br>
<br>The services are currently in beta and are as such free to use. Anyway,<br>have a look: <a href="http://sdk.bt.com/">http://sdk.bt.com/</a><br><br><br>Looking at some example java code, to start a 2-way call you do:<br>
<br>Import com.bt.sdk.thirdpartycall;<br>public static void main(String[] args)<br>{<br> String callee = "tel:+1719yournbr";<br> String caller = "tel:+1719callnbr";<br><br> ThirdPartyCall tpc = new ThirdPartyCall(callee, caller);
<br> tpc.startCall();<br>}<br><br><br>When the code executes, both the caller and callee's phones will ring.<br>When they pick up, they'll be talking to each other. To send an sms it's<br>even simpler:<br>
<br>public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception<br>{<br> MessageManager mm = new MessageManager();<br> mm.send("tel:447712345678", "Hello World!");<br>}<br><br><br>Surely this could be useful for something?
<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Tom<br><br>PS: Apologies again for the blatant plug of BT's products. :-)<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>SVHMPC mailing list<br><a href="mailto:SVHMPC@telefono.revejo.org">
