Send Free SMS using JAVA & Grameenphone’s API (aloashbei.com)

April 14, 2010mzc 31 Comments

Today I am going to show how to send SMS using Grameenphone’s API.

What I Used to built my application:

JAVA
NetBeans IDE 6.7

At first go to www.aloashbei.com and register there. This registration is required because it gives you a username & password in respect to your mobile no. This username & password is used in our application.

Let’s start. Open NetBeans IDE. Create an empty Java Application Project. Now we need to add a Web Service Client in our project.

Be sure our working project is set as Main Project. To do so right click on the Project Name in the Project Browser’s window and Select Set as Main Project.

Now go to File Menu >New File a window opens…..

For

Categories select > Web Services

File Types select > Web Service Client

Click Next > WSDL and Client Window Appears…..

Select WSDL URL and paste there:

https://www.aloashbei.com.bd/API/GP.ADP.BizTalk.SMS.Orchestrations/WebService_GP_ADP_BizTalk_SMS_Orchestrations.asmx?wsdl

Rest Will be same. Click Finish.

Now you need to import some packages from that web service to use in your application. Here is my completed code for NewClass.java :-

import com.grameenphone.playground.*;
import com.grameenphone.*;
import com.grameenphone.sendsmsrequest_xml.SendSMSRequest;

public class NewClass{

public static void main(String[] args) {
String regID = "yourUsername"; //put your aloashbei.com username here
String passWord = "yourPassword"; // put your aloashbei.com password here
String fromMSISDN = "8801746743391"; //put your GP mobile no. here
String toMSISDN = "8801746743391"; //put recipient’s GP mobile no. here
String smsPort = "5001"; //default port No.
double charge = 0.00; //this is why the SMS is free now

int msgType = 4; //4 is used for text sending; there are some others
String contentArea = "test";
String msgContent = "hi, this is my first software using gp API, i can send sms free..:)";

try {
WebServiceGPADPBizTalkSMSOrchestrations service = new WebServiceGPADPBizTalkSMSOrchestrations();
WebServiceGPADPBizTalkSMSOrchestrationsSoap port = service.getWebServiceGPADPBizTalkSMSOrchestrationsSoap();

SendSMSRequest messageRequest = new SendSMSRequest();

messageRequest.setRegistrationID(regID);
messageRequest.setPassword(passWord);
messageRequest.setSourceMsisdn(fromMSISDN);
messageRequest.setDestinationMsisdn(toMSISDN);
messageRequest.setSmsPort(smsPort);
messageRequest.setMsgType(msgType);
messageRequest.setCharge(charge);

messageRequest.setChargedParty(fromMSISDN);
messageRequest.setContentArea(contentArea);
messageRequest.setMsgContent(msgContent);

sendsmsresponse_xml.schemas.biztalk.adp.gp.SendSMSResponse result = port.sendSMS(messageRequest);

System.out.println("Result = " + result.getStatus() + " " + result.getMsgID()); //It shows message sending result…
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Now one important thing to do is changes in two files:

Double Click on the marked two files:
Replace http://192.168.100.169/API/GP.ADP.BizTalk.SMS.Orchestrations/WebService_GP_ADP_BizTalk_SMS_Orchestrations.asmx by https://www.aloashbei.com.bd/API/GP.ADP.BizTalk.SMS.Orchestrations/WebService_GP_ADP_BizTalk_SMS_Orchestrations.asmx in both of the files
Now Clean & Build and Run NewClass.java to send SMS to a specific GP No. Be careful, in your every successful run it will send a SMS K. For test purpose you can use your mobile no. in both sender and receiver’s mobile # field. There is a limitation in SMS sending/day. Probably it is 50 SMS/day. Hope it runs successfully. Cheers!

Hi Munna,
I am not a expert on using xml or web services.But I guess your web service is not properly included in the project.

  Then please check aloashbei.com.bd once again. Probably they have moved their services to another directory.

  subject RE: using SMS API in JAVA (Internal)
  Important mainly because of the words in the message.
  
  Please at first save the wsdl file locally and change the web service address. After that add the wsdl with your application from local location. Hope it will work fine.
  
  Thanks
  Md. Golam Sarwar

If you want to send free international sms you can also try “http://www.smswind.de”. It is a German sms site for sending international free sms. There is a German and an English version. You can send there – 7 free sms ervery 24 hours – without registration – international – with 160 characters. Try!

I tend not to write a leave a response, but I read through some remarks on Send Free SMS using
JAVA & Grameenphone’s API (aloashbei.com)
| Zaman Is Geek!. I actually do have a few questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Is it only me or does it look as if like some of the remarks appear as if they
are left by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are writing
on additional social sites, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to
post. Could you list of all of all your public sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
