image_over_sms

Take a photo with your smartphone and send it through plain SMS (ie not MMS!)

Quick & dirty

  • index.html -> code for Cordova
  • render.html -> code for Web server

Howto

  1. Create a Twilio number

  2. write the number in the "pn" variable in index.html

  3. build the Cordova project

  4. take a picture on the phone

  5. launch the renderer (on any server, even on GitHub pages -- only client side code)

    demo: https://blog.my-poppy.eu/image_over_sms/render.html

  6. enter your Twilio credentials & the Twilio phone number used

  7. press GO!

Speed: 145 base-64 characters every (say) 5 seconds -> 29/sec -> 232 bps :-)

As any idea you can have, this has already been done by someone :-). See Mohammad Shirali-Shahreza & Sajad Shirali-Shahreza, Sending pictures by SMS, Proc. 2009 11th Intl. Conf. on Adv. Comm. Tech., https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4809938
