Hi there.
I’d like to set up a text messaging application in the U.S. where I can receive text messages on my server via a phone #. For example:

• I advertise: send a text message to 800-555-5555 to sign up
• User sends a text message to the above number
• The user’s text message is received/processed by my server side application

I’ve heard that this can be accomplished via a Nokia phone and some kind of serial connection to my server. However, I’m wondering how it’s done on a large scale – like by TV shows like American Idol. Is it through a particular configuration in partnership with the wireless carrier - or is there an easier way?

Thanks,
Ben

Buy Nowsms and a GSM modem like the Siemens TC35.
Then you have this solution in your own house
