Sending SMS from PHP
I have users. They've entered their mobile phones. How can I send them notifications to their mobile phones (SMS) when I want? I've found nice service (http://www.zeepmobile.com/), but they send SMS only to people who subscribed to them. I need to implement it with PHP. Thanks.
I used openmarket API to send SMS to anybody. They have pretty good documentation and SMS SDK http://www.openmarket.com/resources/sdk-download/ for different languages. Also they can send MMS too.
You can also try www.bulksms.com and send out SMS as an email. Just make sure your country is supported and yes you will need to pay a few cents for every SMS. But sending SMS is pretty easy. All what you need to do is send out email to:
[COUNTRY_CODE][CELL_PHONE_NUMBER]#bulksms.com
After purchasing some SMS's on BulkSMS.com you will also have some kind of admmin panel there. You need to set a password which you need to later use it as a email subject in order to send out SMS.
With PHP you can use mail function like:
mail("038640123456#bulksms.com", "Subject + [YOUR_CHOSEN_PASS]", "This is test SMS..");
Use Tropo.com its nice, easy to implement and less expensive.

I need help, I have a question.
currently, I'm working on a website using PHP.
this website needs to be able of sending verification emails. I used the PHP mail function to send emails by using my personal email as the sender, but it takes a long time to be sent.
my question is if the user of this website gonna uses a professional email, for example buying one from GoDaddy.
is this gonna make the process of sending emails faster.
in other words, I want to know if the emails take so long to be sent because of my code, I mean is there is another way to send an email using PHP other than the mail function?
or it depends on the email used to send the email.

thanks in advance
Twilio has the ability to receive sms messages.
https://www.twilio.com/docs/quickstart/php/sms
There is a definite solution available for this. Try exploring with FrontLine SMS that offers a similar functionality, though you will have to then use a 10 digit registered number to send your confirmation SMS.
How to use frontline sms:
Get an internet dongle from a cellular company (Idea, Airtel,etc)
connect dongle to PC
install frontline SMS
Frontline SMS detects dongle.
Frontline SMS API's available to read incoming SMS on dongle and forward to your server with POST/GET methods.
Try it out & let me know it work.
Regards,
Mihir.
PS: i use Huawei dongle + idea connection.
You can use mVaayoo (http://www.mvaayoo.com/sms-gateway-features-benefits.html)
It supports Easy 2-Way SMS Integration with Website, ERP, CRM or any application.
They will provide the rich documentation which helps you to solve your problem.
You can go to that site and register and test it..
There are so many things in the documentation like return values by getting the return values.
You can use http://routesms.com/
This is easy to use and cheap. I used it for like 3 years. They have all types of API with documentation.
The answer is Yes, try Clickatell, they also support India.

Use Twilio (http://www.twilio.com/), I'm using them now to send SMS messages and their API for receiving them is very simple and easy to setup.
Docs: http://www.twilio.com/docs/quickstart/sms/hello-monkey
You can use this SMS software http://smsenabler.com. It can automatically post incoming SMS messages to the URL of your PHP script and send back reply SMS messages.
It uses a 3G/GSM modem (dongle) plugged in a computer to receive SMS. Such modems/dongles have a SIM card inside, therefore they have a phone number to which text messages can be sent.
You can use www.aql.com to receive SMS messages into your application. May work best in the UK...
I know I can send sms through php using api or gateway.
But my question is how those websites send sms through our mobile no. How is this done.
Any help
SMS is fundamentally like email, it trusts the sender to be truthful about who they are sending from. I use clickatell to send SMS and in the early days - 2004/5 you could send an sms to anyone from anyone without any special permission, but they quickly shut this down for security reasons, you now have to register and prove your rights to send from a particular address.
Basically in order for you to do it you need to either sign up with a mobile provider or have an agreement with your sms provider to allow you to send sms from whoever you wish. There may be senders out there who are less strict in setting the sender.
They would communicate with a provider (possibly through a third party) also using an API of sort. One of the parameters they would pass is a source number. So when the SMS is sent there is header information saying it came from a specific number. It is possible to set this value to a text string too instead of a number. So the SMS might look to come from for example 'STACKOVERFLOW' instead of '12345678'.
Does anyone know how can i send a sms messsage when e-mails are arriving in a gmail account?
I know some PHP, C/C++ and C#, and I plan to read the new message using POP3. The problem is that I don't know how can I send a SMS message to a mobile phone. Do I need a SMS server?
can you give me some advices?
you need to register with and buy credit at some bulk SMS gateway with API. personally, i would recommend: http://www.clickatell.com/
which allows to send SMS via email, HTTP/GET/POST, REST, XML etc.
Many cell carriers have the ability to send SMS messages to an email address (ie yourphonenumber#telus.com). If you're sending to a specific mobile phone (for keeping an eye on your website, say), this would be something to look into, because it's free and simple. For the general case of sending an SMS to any mobile phone, that's somewhat more complicated. You can either hook into an SMS gateway (such as clickatell, as dusoft mentions), or you can attach a GSM modem to your PC and send commands through it.
