You could just have it send a short email to the phone's email address, usually phone#@service.com, i.e.

[email protected]

etc.

SMS Through Web

Basically if you are not building your own SMS gateway (something like Kannel at www.kannel.org) then you must follow the following ways:

1. Sign up with the SMS provider (just like the csoft.co.uk that you posted early on). That would mean you have to open an account with them and pay some money also.

2. These SMS gateway providers normally sell in terms of bulks, say 1000 SMS, so you buy what you need.

3. They will provide you the code (VB, ASP, or PHP) to connect to their gateway, and your job is just to design your own forms that can integrate with those codes. Well then, it's done.

WebSMS used to be really simple some years ago... until the phone companies (atleast around here) realized everyone was using free SMS services. :P Since then they've screwed around so you have to use their stuff... It's a real shame. Good old MTNSMS...
