-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you are handy with Unix and you know all of the Cell Phone Proivers of the users who will be receiving these SMS messages you can create your own SMS Gateway and save a lot of money. All you will need is a Linux Based Computer, a 2400 baud modem and a cheap fax line. If you want to test it out, simple contact me off list and I can configure mine setup to send you sms messages. The way that I perform this is I have to know the Cell Phone Provider so I can send the right message to the Right Provider which delivers the message to the end user.
I have been doing this same thing with Coldfusion 5 in the K-12 Education Industry for 5 years however since I am a single man shop I am not "Well Known" in the community so my knowledge in this is overlooked. To see the Web Interface you can visit http://paging.niesc.k12.in.us select my name from the list and send a message which will be received on my Treo 650 phone through Verizon Wireless.
