I forgot to mention that if you search the torrents or rapidshare you can find these lists as a csv pretty easily, or if you pay for a service that keeps your up to date you could get a port list and that would make life really easy when you are trying to figure out the user's carrier.

Not really a flash question but who cares...

This may not be the best way, but:

Well, if you know the carrier, you can find out how to send an e-mail to a given number, and then have a server side script send an e-mail; for, most carriers, if not all, have this capability. It's free for the sender, and very very easy to setup in php or any server side language.

/yournum...@pcs.rogers.com <mailto:yournum...@pcs.rogers.com>/ etc...

Find out who the local exchange and who # ranges are owned by, and then associate that info in a db with the e-mail ext per carrier; however, this may not work if the consumer ported to a different carrier. In this case just spam all the carriers listed to service that ext. You will get a failed receipt for the ones that don't work, and you will be able to update your records. The system, would have to be looking for failed message receipts, and they may not always be reported; yet, they usually are.

Or you could simply ask the user, which carrier they go with and avoid the server load of sending a message to every carrier that services that area code, every time a user wants to send something via sms.

Hello, looking for some direction, tutorials, examples or otherwise on creating a flash web app which would support SMS text messaging.
TIA,
I think it's really a server-side function, rather than client-side. Google Server SMS.
