Telenor SMS

As a Telenor mobile subscriber, you have the possiblity to send SMS messages via their website. Also, for as long as I can remember, the first 30 messages each month are free.

This is a simple script I made to simplify the process. Instead of having to log-in to post a message, why not do it from the command-line.

Telenor Norway

Website

I've used the script below to create a new website, called telenorsms.no. You only need to provide the Telenor subscription details and fill in the recipient's phone number and end message. You can choose to click 'Remember' to automatically fill inn the log-in credentials on subsequent visits to the site.

• Telenor SMS website

Shell script

The shell script utilizes wget for the web-requests and has some sanitation, error, and debugging functionality. Please feel free to alter the script and give me suggestions for improvements.

Update 2010-08-02:

Here is a small and simple shell script to login and send a text using ./sendsms-simple.sh <reception> <message>.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -q "http://telenormobil.no/ums/login/check.do?phonenumber=PUTYOURNUMBER&password=PUTYOURPASS" \
"http://telenormobil.no/ums/compose/sms/process.do?toAddress=$1&message=$2&b_send=OK"
exit

mIRC script

mIRC is an IRC client and is used to chat to people all around the world, in different channels.

This script is something I wrote and put together in 2005. The original script still works in 2009, showing the conservatism and reliance that is Telenor.

Usage:

• Load script, one time event, in status window: /load -rs telenorsms_v2.mrc
• Set your Telenor subscription phone number/login id: /telenorsms <number>
• Set the login password: /telenorsms <pass>
• Send message: /telenorsms <recipient> <message>

• Download mIRC script
