Re: [ubuntu-in] What software to use to
Have you considered using SMS gateways? They are (web) services that provide APIs to those who pay for the services, but the startup where I interned last summer had a few reliability issues. You could find the right service with some market research. Pardon brevity, sent from a mobile handset.

Second question which is OT - what kind of mobile phones have this compatibility. The best fit would be Android and symbian device at this point as it has extensive support and tool chain which works very well with linux (in general). I have previously worked (in fact played around) in both of them. Dont remember the specific apps but has python api which you could extend for your needs. -S -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Symbian, Android, IOS.
