Only if the WAP site 1) has access to an SMSC, 2) knows who the carrier is
for the mobile and can route the SMS message via an email-to-SMS gateway or
3) is attached to the appropriate radio equipment in order to transmit the
message itself.

Hi,

We did a project on sending sms messages from a server application. In
order to send/receive messages from an application you have two
options:

1. Susbcribe to an sms gate way server on the internet. This enbles you
to send SMS via HTTP requestes to the gateway server. However this
option has high startup costs.

2.You can connect you GPRS compatible mobile handset to your server
(through a data cable) and can then use appropriate toolkit to send
messages via the device. This option is cheap to setup but is
significantly costlier in the log run.
