Hi Marc. Thanks for comments. My simple thinking is that SMS gateway service company sould be able to keep it's system up and running 99.9%. If I setup my own SMS gateway, I am not sure if I can achieve the same uptime and there is another piece of hardware to maintain and ensure it is running round the clock. The best is to have both so that one way will get through in case the other fails, as commented by Shyam.
