Really naive question, but...I'm looking to find an easy way to mostly receive SMS messages from random cell phones (and perhaps reply to them). I'm guessing there are services one can sign up to that will gateway SMS to email for you for hopefully a reasonable cost. The goal is to allow someone sends a text message to some number and have one of my systems receive that message (e.g. via email). The ability to reply to that message (again, I send email and the person receives the message on their phone) would be swell but is not as critical. I'm anticipating a relatively low volume of traffic.Does anyone have any experience/recommendations for how to go about doing this? Thanks!
Have you considered using a Siemens MC35i or TC35i terminal? Basically you insert a SIM card, connect the terminal to a serial port and talk AT commands with it to both send and receive messages. It's not as easy as using a email-sms gateway service or XML but once you get it working it will work forever.
