Hi, My company develops a system to keep travellers aware of their flight details and other associated information. The communication is 2 way. from server to mobile and visa versa. we also have developed an email to sms gateway on top of the main messaging system. We hav euse Mobile365 and are now using Street Data as they are alot cheaper. The actual sending and receiving is done via a GET url request and is encapsulated so that changing service providers isn't too much of a pain.
Having said that. Every service provider has their own quircks and these are not always documented which makes programming interesting. Things like unicode, message length, message length for multi part messages, etc. It is certainly possible. The main thign about your situation is making sure that anyone replying to your system sends some soft of identifier to ensure that the right job is closed off. Also, you want to put transparent security in place as other people migh try and hack through your SMS system. One thign we do is not allow a SMS to be received unless it it in receipt to a sent SMS or a registered user. There are oter things that can also be done. I hope that helps a bit.
