Question

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

Sending SMS is a HUGE beast to conquer. Now I don't know the first thing about j2me, but I do know a bit about SMS since I was at one point working on a similar project (abandoned for the reason below).

The short end of it is that you MUST use a GSM carrier to send SMS if you don't know what carrier to send to. This is because carriers know how to send the message to the appropriate cell phone.

You could send via email [email protected] but the problem comes with the fact that you have to know which carrier the phone number points to.

Once upon a time you could tell the carrier by the second set of three digits xxxYYYxxxx (the y's), but you can no longer do this because of phone number portability.

In short, check out Kannel, but you'll still need to send via GSM (you can get PCI cards that hold SIM cards), or you can pay a subscription.
