    There are lot of free services like yahoo mail, through which can
    send messages to many mobile phones.


pursuing the word "free" i checed out yahoo's "free" sms service and the following are the terms of service.

By using the Yahoo! Messenger for SMS Service, you acknowledge and agree that:

*(a) *your mobile phone number (MSISDN) will be used during the transmission of text messages through the Yahoo! Messenger for SMS Service, *(b)* the cost of a normal SMS will be charged to your Hutch, RPG, or Airtel phone (as the case may be) for each SMS sent from your mobile phone number, as per the terms of subscription prescribed by your cellphone service provider. *(c) *you remain solely responsible for all content originated from you and transmitted via the Yahoo! Messenger for SMS Service ("Content"), and you shall accordingly indemnify Yahoo! and Hutch, RPG, and Airtel, against all third party claims relating to your Content or your use of the Yahoo! Messenger SMS Service or due to your act, negligence or omission, and *(d) *neither Yahoo! nor Hutch, RPG, or Airtel will be liable for any costs, loss or damage (whether direct or indirect), or for loss of revenue, loss of profits or any consequential loss whatsoever as a result of your using the Yahoo! Messenger for SMS Service.

**
which brings me back to why i would like to have more control over the process, as far as i can see Yahoo is just providing the software one still has to pay for sms costs and finally we also lose privacy
I agree with you when it comes to privacy issues.
Though I never read their terms. I have used quiet a number of time and it was free of charge.
That was a bad suggestion of mine.

I am grad you got what you want.
