I have developed a Website in ASP.NET 2.0 I want to send an SMS to every person who registers to my site. I want to do it in C# code, is there any service[webservice] which I can use and send free SMS to any mobile.
Thanks in advance

You should just allow them to enter one more more email address. If people want an SMS they can enter the email address from their providers gateway. This would allow allow them to receive a message on a mobile/PDA style device without dealing with SMS.

Doesn't answer the question, does it?

It is an answer. And unless this guy doesn't want people to signup for his blog it's probably a good one.

No it doesn't Cerebrus. It's pretty common practice on StackOverflow for users to get self-righteous and tell the OP what they should think or do instead of answering straightforward (or simply not answering). For all we know this is a business rule laid down by the OP's client. Who are we to tell him how to design his project when he comes asking for a service referral.

Are you able to send email? Most service providers (at least here in the US) support email gateways. And example would be <[email protected]> and it would allow the user to enter their SMS optionally. You might note some of the common gateways in your area on the site for people to use. On a different note I did check out your site. Some of the photos are just amazing, kind of a shame I can't read your posts. Good Luck.

Although I am not endorsing your methods nor this service, I did stumble upon a writeup of Zeep Mobile by ReadWriteWeb. If you are comfortable with them inserting ads into the SMS, this may be for you.

Deviant: It doesn't bother me one way or another. I think people are getting their panties in a twist over this way too much. We shouldn't judge another user over what he is planning to do with his website. I myself would never want to send SMS messages to anybody if I were making a site, and if I were a user, I would never give my number to receive those SMS messages. It's simple user choice.
