Have you looked at clickatell?

I've played around with it a reasonable amount and found their interface to be simple to use.

You can't start SMS service with just software. You need SMS gateway like Clickatell or need a mobile with facility to send SMS connected to the server.

If you want to connect a mobile to your server and send SMS messages that way, gnokii may be of use to you: http://www.gnokii.org/

you can also try vodazone.co.za , they provide the same service as clickatell

I can highly recommend you clickatell

Hello,

With the clickatell solution, does this allow you to put it on your own site so that visitors can pay for, and send sms ?

Or soes the person who signs up with clickatell pay for the sms first, and then anyone can send sms for free from the website?

Kind regards,
Anthony

Either way is possible.

I've got my account with Clickatell, I like to keep about 1000-2000 credits on there. I have it integrated into the ticket system for my hosting and also my "Contact Me" forms on various sites.

Hosting clients get free "unlimited" access to SMSs, for example when they raise a ticket there is the option to SMS either me or any other manager familiar with their account.

I also have a site that is kind of a "media sharing" site, and there is the option to SMS the URL of the content to your hand set rather than type in the URL. That costs the user monies, but they get the first few free.

If you're going to charge your users/visitors for SMS you just have to do the billing your self, Clickatell don't handle that stuff for you. But yeah, it will all be on your site, and no one will see the clickatell interface.

What I did was download the email gateways from telcodata.us. It cost me about $14 and it was worth it. Then you can match the area code and exchange of the number to the email gateway and send SMS's through that. Of course the email to SMS gateways are free.

I need to connect a mobile?

I have the nearly same question about how to develop a sms service website, don't I need any software if I just get an account from clickatell or other providers ? think I do

could somebody explain exactly ?

@BionhostStan
Kannel can be connected to GSM modems and SMSCs with supported protocols such as SMPP, CIMD2 and UCP. Clickatell even offers an SMPP account if you have a big volume of messages per month.

@b3nz
You'll need to integrate your site with a SMS gateway. This usually requires custom work.

there's no written script for this purpose ?

There can be none.

Almost everyting is ready to use, and it requires almost no coding. You have to integrate the rest to *your* website, every website is different. Common parts are already ready to use.
