We are using a shared shortcode provided by another company, so nope
it's not open source. As far as I'm aware, open source SMS gateways
such as Kannel still require that you have a shortcode leased and
registered with the various carriers, which is really expensive.
There's really doesn't seem to be any way to avoid a per-message cost
for outgoing messages (many mobile gateway providers don't charge for
incoming messages).
