Well, in a way you could - I've been using sms_client for 3-4 years, paying a fixed fee of 30Rappen per SMS via my phonebill. It works very well. I trigger the SMS by email, but it could just as easily be done from some PHP code. sms_client is open source, btw. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.6°C) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] SMS gateway
As Daniel already mentioned, SMS gateways are normally charged on the basis of usage. And there are several service providers as far as that goes, who provide APIs for integration with your own application. Just FYI www.clickatell.com is one. Somebody has even written a wrapper class around this service, that could make life a lot easier (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sms-api/) Best Pavan Keshavamurthy On Wednesday 13 May 2009 19:30:30 Manoj Singh wrote: > Hi All, > > I need to create the SMS functionality in PHP. > > Do you have any idea of Open Source SMS gateway which i can use? > > Thanks, > Manoj -- -Pavan Keshavamurthy http://grahana.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
