Hi,
I just wanted to know is there any free sms gateway for sending SMS. If there is one, how to go on to developing my free sms service/software?
Any guidelines please.
Thanks

I don't know if there is a good free SMS provider but i can certainly set you on your way on developing SMS applications.
First of all check out this very good tutorial: http://www.developershome.com/sms/smsIntro.asp.
I think all you need for a starters is your own SMS modem and a prepaid card to start testing out the SMS protocol.
As for the SMS gateway i would suggest trying out Clickatell. We were very pleased with it when we first used it, back in early 2009.
Good luck!

Yes - Kannel is a free open source SMS/WAP gateway. But you still need to connect to the service providers. Its prably a lot simpler to go via an aggregator - they'll supply APIs.
Alternatively just plug a GSM modem into your server (most modern phones will provide this service)

Most service providers charge you for sending texts
