Hi Paul,
We use Message Media for all SMS functionality.
They have offices in Australia, UK and USA. www.message-media.com
They provide web services that we consume using Skott's http utilities and
allows sending messages, checking and receiving responses, sending
response to response, scheduled sending, reporting, etc.
While there are many sms providers we have found them to be very reliable
for a commercial application
Cheers

[WEB400] Best Approach for Sending Text Messages from Web App
Sent by:

All,
Anyone have insight/advice/gotachas for the following:
We have a client that provides utility (residential and commercial
water) to city residence. We are building an application to allow
citizens to see and track their water usage. A new requirement is to
ALERT them if their water usage exceeds a user defined limit. The
current alert use automated email but now they are requesting the
optional feature of sending a text message to the public. Example
scenario: your water line breaks while you are away at vacation, you
would get a TEXT message stating that your water usage has exceeded
100,000 gallons or whatever your limit is.
I know we can send texts using simple email if you know the carrier
(verizon, att, etc) but this requires the user to select their carrier
which may change. Anyone have experience texting using any of the WS
APIs that return carrier and email information based on a cell number
passed in?
Thanks in advance, Paul
