Send and Receive SMS from PHP Application

I want to make a Facebook like SMS sending and receiving service. Are there any PHP API to do that? I want to use a specific number like Facebook.

Note
Sending SMS through E-mail is possible but how can I receive SMSs through my PHP application? I am searching for a free PHP API without any external hardware to do that. Is it possible?

+4 A:

In case your search for free doesn't work out:

I've recently been playing around with Twilio: http://www.twilio.com/

And they've recently cleaned up their API:

They also have contests running. Maybe your app will fall into a category and land some free marketing :)

If you want it to work in India, use smsgupshup.com's API to create SMS applications.

smsgupshup.com is good. But I want to use my own number instead of 56767888 and use a application like smsgupshup.com

If you want to use your own number then you have to opt for SIM hosting somewhere or use your own hardware. (You can connect a phone USB to a serial port of computer.)
