How to send SMS messages from my mobile phone
Hi, I really didn't know if this post is in the right forum or not, but I didn't know where else to place it.
I want to build a web page to send SMS messages from my phone. At my job they don't let me take my phone (security reasons) and I would like to leave it home, and in my office, go to my web page and send a text message from there. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this using PHP???
I guess I will need some special software to make my PHP web page talk to my phone, if anyone has any idea, or has used or done something like this, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.
Thank you very much!

Most carriers will allow you to send text messages via email (verizon is 1234567890@vtext.com), and your code wouldn't be much more than mail(). Depends on the carrier

You're bound by the restrictions of the phone carrier, nothing PHP can overcome. You might contact them to make sure, or start learning morse code

Sorry man, it looks like those guys don't really want to help their customers communicate using their products. Their web site is nice, but it is not nearly as informative as it should be. It would be even better if they allowed text messaging right from their site like Cingular, Sprint or Verizon do.
