Hello :)

short question. I'm looking for a free sms gateway to embed into my website. this service should allow:

- worldwide (!) sending of SMS
- easy to use for my users (no registration for them)
- customize the language of the form and confirmation page
- be for free

it would be also great (but i guess not easy to find), if there is a way to custom the "spot line" of the sms message send (for free).... but i guess smthg like this does not exist. or does it?

thanks again for your help!

That's probably the main problem :)
I also researched a bit (but not for worldwide sms, only Europe).

Craig had just posted http://www.mtnsms.com/ and i think it's free internationally, i've tried it and was quite impressed. Nice one!

I KNOW there is a script that allows you to send through mtn...
Check freshmeat.net for "sms"

there is an actual gateway server you can install too - cant remember the name of it - I'll try that mtn thing first though ;-)

Yeah but then you need a provider (sms) and then you buy blocks.... NOT FREE :(
