Sending SMS via wifi

[AlpVir]

I would like to create an app that allows you to send SMS messages, using:
1) smartphone (with this particular app installed) and wifi enabled;
2) a PC with a specific program (also to be developed, preferably using VB6);
3) wi-fi router.
All of this can already be done (in part) with the free excellent app AirDroid (Google Play).
Unfortunately:
a) I need to send SMS by reading a database, not writing them one by one as you can do with AirDroid;
b) the interface is a browser on the PC side, I would conversely need to have a normal interface of a normal PC program.
Assuming that I have a great experience (I think) in VB6 and a discrete (in the course of aging) with B4A I was wondering if anyone can tell me what to begin studying to achieve the above.
If you want to know "B4A Bridge" (which if I remember correctly we have source) already does something like this (that connects the PC - via wifi - with your smartphone).
It is, for me, to act with a similar logic and work on SMS rather than installing new applications on your smartphone.
Suggestions are welcome, of course.
Thanks in advance.

There was an app on Google Play called RemoteSMS. Unlike all the other "send sms from your pc", this one ran as a web server on your phone and allowed you to POST (or GET - I can't recall right now) the number and the text - totally unencrypted in plain text - over your local wifi.

This meant you could very easily integrate it into your own software - whether the software runs as a standalone application or in a browser.

That's what I did. I have a CRM software thing that runs in a browser on a webserver. I have canned messages that I send to clients via sms. The messages are stored in a database and are customised for each client (with name etc).

RemoteSMS went hand in hand with RemoteCall (from the same developer), which gave you an interface so you can initiate a call over wifi by clicking a link in a browser or in a standalone desktop app.

That's why I'm here, by the way. Both these great apps recently disappeared from Google Play, and I need to re-create them (although will probably customize them a bit to suit my purposes even better).

I have copies of both these apps and can send to you if you like. RemoteSMS was not free, but as it's no longer on sale, I don't think anyone cares if I share.
