Lego Mindstorm 2.0 : if it is possible to send a SMS msessage using mindstorm 2.0

[Weeward]

hi I would like to ask if it is possible to send a SMS message using our Lego NXT Mindstorm 2.0.

What language/s are we going to use?

So far we are starting to connect the NXT brick to a PC but unfortunately, it cant connect because the NXT bricks says that the line is busy..

How was that? can u please respond to my question?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, the NXT will not be able to send an SMS directly, but there are ways we can work around this.  What we can do is the following:

1.  We'll need to create a VI on the Windows PC to receive messages from the NXT.  The NXT Mail VI will help you send data from the NXT to the Host.

2.  Take a look at this example for sending an Email via .NET:

You can use this example to send a message to an SMS gateway, which sends it to your phone.  Another SMS example using the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit can be found here:

As far as your other issue, are you using USB or bluetooth?  Are you using a USB hub?  If so, if you directly connect the NXT to the computer, does it work?
