    Hi there! Welcome to developerFusion. You haven't really said what the problem is, so you're unlikely to get an answer at the moment? :)

    I notice that you have & Chr$(13) & Chr(10). I'm not sure about your version, (I use Visual Studio Express), but you may want to replace them with vbCr or vbCrLf. I have SMS working. You may want to try your commands in Hyperterminal first to make sure your code will work.

    It looks like you open and close the port each time the loop cycles. Can you leave the port open and keep sending messages? I have a function that does that. I can share more if you need. will this work? ----> With MSComm1 .CommPort = 3 .Handshaking = comNone .Settings = "57600,N,8,1" .InputLen = 0 .InBufferSize = 1024 .InputMode = comInputModeText .OutBufferSize = 512 .InBufferCount = 0 .RThreshold = 1 .SThreshold = 1 .PortOpen = True End With For j = 1 To 2 ' SMS are going one by one, bUT IF I PUT A LOOP, THEN THEY ARE NOT GOING CONTINOUSLY MSComm1.Output = "AT" & Chr$(13) & Chr(10) MSComm1.Output = "AT+CMGF=1" & Chr$(13) & Chr(10) MSComm1.Output = "AT+CMGS= " & Chr(34) & txtRecpMobileNo.Text & Chr(34) & ",129" & Chr$(13) & Chr(10) 'MSComm1.Output = "AT+CMGS= " & Chr(34) & txtRecpMobileNo.Text & Chr(34) & Chr$(13) & Chr(10) MSComm1.Output = "No. " & j & Chr$(26) MSComm1.Output = "AT+CNMI=1,2,0,0,0 " & Chr$(13) Do DoEvents ' Buffer$ = Buffer$ & MSComm1.Input Loop Until MSComm1.InBufferCount > 2 Next j MSComm1.PortOpen = False
