@Savinovish: Thanks a lot for bringing up a question like this. I'm also a newbie and was about to mail a similar question to this group. I'll follow your mails in the future to get to know about your progress.
@ All: I'd really appreciate if you people can share what kind of "devices" that you have deployed in your SMS gateways for mass messaging. Especially modem types and other server specs. Are there any tutorials I can follow for setting up a efficient SMS gateway? Thanks in advance Best Regards, Praveena J.
