SMS Messaging

I am working with a client who is a trading firm. They would like for users to be able to sign up for buy/sell notifications sent via SMS messaging. Has anyone worked with SMS messaging in the past? How can I achieve this? Do I need to use a third party service to relay the messages to the cell phone network(s)? If so, who?

there are lots of companies that do what you are looking for and it is not standard across the world. In the United States, I know of a company called goldpocket that does this. I know it's easier in europe but don't know the details their. basically, you can have a URL called based on info in the request (including callers phone number). You could authenticate off that with a handler or web service you write to respond to that URL.

HTH's.

Maybethis is a good starting point
