How do I implement an SMS service?

Tags:

sms

I have a client that wants the application to be able to send SMS text message alerts to people that have subscribed to the service. I have seen this done on a lot of sites but I am not aware of what is involved in setting this up. Does anybody have any experience doing this? What is involved?

Thanks, Brent

How can I provide SMS service?

Convert your mails into textual messages and deliver them to mobile phones. Integrate this SMS API with your business and directly send messages from your own app. Download TextMagic message software for both PC and MAC systems. Send and receive messages online using its two-way SMS chat.

Every phone has an email address for SMS which you can send to, but that supposedly isn't reliable. Your other option is an SMS gateway web service API (there are plenty) or a service like Twilio.
