AS far as i know its not software mainly that you need, its the hardware e.g a sms device connected to the webserver, or if you are looking for a cheaper option there are sites that you can do this through if you are after more information please feel free to contact me via hostnode eg pm.

Indeed it is better to go with hardware option, rather than paying for sms services, which cost you more.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this. SMS is all routed based on phone numbers, and, unlike email, phone numbers don't have routing information built in. This means that you can't look at a phone number and know that it's Sprint or Verizon or Orange, so there's no way to know which carrier to send it to. So, first, you have to ask the user which carrier goes with that number, which is annoying, and if users are sending it to their friends, they may not even know which carrier.

The next problem is getting the message onto the carrier's network. Very few carriers have open, standard gateways for doing this. Usually you have to pay very high fees and negotiate access to get in. You can also send SMS by accessing their websites, but how you do that depends on each carrier's site. There is a perl module which has a lot of carrier info built in, so you might try that.

SMS is broken.

Okay, I finally finally finally, through searching and searching found a legit website that will send an sms to any cell phone without knowledge of carrier. My friend at Sprint PCS actually told me about it. The cell phone can even answer back, and it's completely free unlike most of those sites that will do the same thing.

cellphonenumber@teleflip.com

It works with all North American carriers. If you have questions just go to:
www.teleflip.com

I have no affiliation with this website...I'm just so excited to have finally found it. Apparently it's been around for quite a while.
