JonnoTheDev Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 You can use online SMS providers. They will give you an API to send messages. Search Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcoderx Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 No no its not for sending sms but users sending sms to say 8888 the number i provide and that sms would charge the user 2usd and his credit get updated in the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Can't help there sorry. You would need a trigger from the SMS receiver to your webserver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Yes, theirs a few mainly in the USA only a few in the UK (thats me) google "Premium SMS" you should find a few, find one with an API to manage it, basically they text the number and will get back a code, then they enter the code on the site for whatever! Â PS, this is NOT PHP related! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
