Sounds like you're trying to do it from PHP. fopen ought to work, assuming you have allow_url_fopen enabled. What do you get back from the fopen() attempt? Do they give a page back with an error message? It's possible that they don't respond to requests with a User-Agent which looks like a script calling them, to stop people doing what you're trying to do. If you're feeling dirty, of course you could just fake your user-agent header to be whatever you feel like pretending to be (although if you're making lots of requests, they might just block your IP). For what it's worth, I use AQL (www.aql.com) for SMS messaging, they have useful APIs. (And, if you were using Perl, you could use my SMS::AQL module to interact with them too).
