The most reliable solution is to make a contract with a TELCO operator and get a SMPP connection and ask them to enable you the message parameters which you want. You'll connect your SMSGW directly to their SMSC. The other solution is to use a mobile phone or GSM modem. In this case you'll use regular subscriber rate plan/SMSC options which can be fairly restricted since they are for general SMS usage. > 2.
