<<That's great but what about sending to different carriers? I'm guessing
you have to know what carrier the customer you're sending a sms is on
right?>>


No.   Its your carrier not theirs.   Just like you dont need to know what
carrier someone is using to call them.     Best is to use an aggregator if
you're sending any volume of messages.   The cheapest today wont
necessarily be the cheapest tomorrow.   I used a UK aggregator, and believe
it or not it was faster from my US server than using an Australian or US
service.   But only marginally.  Didn't make much difference in reality.
We set up races between mobile phones and the xml packet based aggregator
and several other combinations and the UK Aggregator beat all the other
ways by a second or two seconds,  even when it was routing the messages
through a South African carrier to an Australian carrier to another
Australian carrier to my phone.

The full mobile phone number will find the device  no matter where in the
world it is,  no matter what carrier they're connected to.

But as far as ColdFusion is concerned,  you'll either be making up an email
containing the message and sending it using CFMail  or using an XML packet
and sending that by cfhttp.  Depends on how your service is set up.    Rest
assured it wont be the most difficult ColdFusion task you've ever done.
