zq29 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 You'll need to open up an account with a service provider that can supply you with a text messaging service, any good provider should be able to offer you an API/SDK that you can interact with dynamically with such languages as PHP. You're not going to be able to do this for free I don't think. I've done this before, but using a UK based company called Esendex. Not sure about any providers in the US.

cooldude832 Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Anyone know of a free site that sends text messages, I've seen sites that do it with gas prices for free and i'm sure it can be done for free, otherwise would it be illegal to fopen/socket into say verizion/cingular to send em?
