Hello,

I'd like to develop a web application which will use an SMS gate for messaging. As I understand usage of any SMS gateway looks like:
- messages from application can be sent to a number of recipients.

The question I'm interested is - Can SMS gateway be used to RECEIVE messages from recipients and send them to a web application?

Hi,

As long as you have an appropriate SMSC connection, yes.

We call this "2-way SMS" ... you can find more information at the following links:
