You can probably do that with others > but that's the only one I've ever used. Sending SMS international is expensive... e.g.: France -> Morocco 0.30 Euro/SMS You must Do it like me and Yahoo... Install in each country (Me: FR, DE, MA, AZ, TN, TR, IL, SY, IR) a small Computer which is working rock solid... I use USED HP Vectra XA5/200MMT (P1/200 with 192 MByte of memory) and one or more cellphones. Prefered one for each (big) national GSM-provider. e.g.: France: 1) Bougues Telecom 2) SFR 3) Orange Germany: 1) Vodaphone 2) T-Mobil Morocco: 1) Maroc Mobil Turkey: 1) Turkcell Now wou must install a Central Web-Server where the customes connect and send the messages the server will send the message with ANY protocol you like to the right COUNTRY server and then the "smstools" right configured choose the right GSM-Provider to send the message. > Are phone numbers assigned like ip addresses? Is there an arin.net > for phones? I would think there is some way they keep track of all that. I have 8 private SIM-Cards with my OWN Telephone numbers... If I change the GSM-Provider I take my Telephone number with me. This make GSM-Routing quiet difficult, since the Database is NOT PUBLIC accessible. ONLY the GSM-Provider know it. But the telephone number is marked as "portable" without leting you know from which Network. AFAIK will this be changed in the next time...
