Hi,

Gonna hijack this thread for just a bit. :) I'd like to share a little
XUCC history. IIRC, the first attempt to develop a prototype of an
SMS-to-DB application was by Francis Montesino (back in 2001 or
2002..not so sure now), who proposed the use of gnokii to interface with
the mobile phone. I think a prototype didn't materialise (just yet,
because of constraints with current technology and available mobile
phones at that time).

This picked up in 2003 with a paper I did; "An Operator-Independent
SMS-to-Database Gateway" with Yebron, Delegencia, and Nufable. We used
gammu (descendant of gnokii), and used PHP, of all languages, to query
student grade databases (OSPM). We were able to do a prototype which
actually worked, but wasn't for industry use.

Engr. Doroja wanted a more robust application that can be deployed in
any platform (gateway app + mobile drivers + gammu/gnokii/kannel +
mysql). This is where Butch Salem's group comes in, as crimson.albert
mentions below. Glad to know that RB's improving on this as well. So
yeah, going back on topic, the OP can use gammu, which has several APIs
that you can call directly from any programming language of choice.
