discomatt Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Not directly with PHP. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/100153-send-sms-messages-texts/#findComment-512084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi, Using PHP, is it possible to send SMS (Text) Messages to mobile phones? Yes, but not directly. You have to go through a gateway that can resolve the phone number and pass the SMS message on to the phone. Check out this article on the matter for an idea. Another option would be to look at this list of provider gateways and send them as email via PHP instead of trying to hit the SMS gateway directly.

kenrbnsn Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 You need to use a SMS Gateway. You can use PHP to communicate with that gateway. Use Google and search for SMS PHP.

discomatt Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Watch out though, as many cell users get charge for receiving text messages via email. A few complaints and your script is blocked.

kenrbnsn Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just like in sending mail to a mailing list, sending SMS messages should only be done if the recipient has subscribed to the service and knows that he may be charged.
