title: Send and Receive google text message SMS VB.NET
body: <p>I am trying to send and receive SMS messages. Sending is not a problem and that part works well, but I also need to get the responses back.</p>
  
  <p>For example on the TV you often see things that say something like "Text sales to 884921"</p>
  
  <p>Something on the other end must be reading those text messages and handling them. Another example is AT&amp;T sends out a text message that says something like "You bill is ready, text YES to pay the bill now".  This is exactly what I need to do.  If I were writing the app on the Android or iPhone it would be easier as the text messaging is already there. </p>
  
  <p>I was thinking I could use Google voice text messaging, but I need it to be automated with an app that I write on my server. </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
