SMS Gateway
 

:)

Can you suggest the best SMS Gateway? is the service when you text a WORD to a number and you got subscribed and you can unsubscribe with another word...

i.e. Text 'National' to 498256 and I got News

Text to google at www.google.com :D

yeah tried, in fact I'm one guys who research before to ask... but the technology is relatively new, so I was trying to get informed before to buy...

Let me try to answer your question.

Do you need to receive SMS? If you need to receive SMS, you will need to host your own GSM device or modem so that people can send you SMS.

If not, you can just use internet SMS gateways like clickatell as mentioned above will do the work, and post to them by HTTP, XML or email. The cost is about 6-8 cents per SMS. There are cheaper services, but not always reliable. If you need to host your own GSM device, you can use software like http://www.kannel.org (GPL Open Source) or http://www.visualgsm.com. Alternatively, you may obtain a shortcode from your Telco - but these come with monthly subscription of maybe one or two hundreds.

iogames, John already gave you your answer. You need to host your own SMS gateway. There are third-parties which will do this with you. I know we used one at my last workplace but I cannot remember the name. I'll try and find out.

Ok please do so...
