How to send text message / SMS using PHP?

Question

Possible duplicate:
any good php tutorial on how to send sms to phones?

I am trying to figure out how I can send text messages / SMS messages from PHP to phones. Is there any way to do this without paying for any service? Can I also give people the opportunity to respond to texts / SMS? For example, when they receive a message, can they respond and that the data is stored in a MySQL table or something like that?

Answer 1

You can send the user carrier format email using the formats listed here .

If you want to receive messages and process them using business rules, you will need to pay for the SMS gateway. You don’t know where you are, but I asked a similar question about finding a decent Canadian provider here .
