Automating text messages from a computer program through vtext

I am creating a program for my fiance that needs to be able to send automated text messages that appear(to the message receiver) to be coming from my cell phone while they are actually coming from the program on my fiances computer. I could do this using an email server however the message would appear to come from "emailaddress@gmail.com", and I want to make the message look like it came from my cell phone. vtext.com provides this service through a browser but I need my program to be able to access the server to create and send messages automatically.

Is this possible to do with vtext.com?"

Does vtext.com use SMTP?

If so what is the SMTP server port for vtext.com?

Autodialers to send to cellular phones is illegal. Spoofing is also illegal, and its also considered spamming.

Unless you have written permission from each and every person you plan on doing this spamming to you will lose your email account, your cellular account may be suspended or terminated and you can be personally sued for damages for this spamming in the thousands of dollars per unsolicited text/emailing.

There are many laws in place and verizon may take you to court as well.

Give up your quest.

Good Luck

No problem. Its always best to do a Google search on what you propose to do and see if it is legal. Spam texts and telephone calls to others not requesting such service is going to cause you grief.

Good Luck
