Yes.

When NowSMS receives an SMS message, it can be configured to issue an HTTP request (or run a local executable), passing details about the text of the received message (and the sender of the message).

If your command will always reply back to the response, you can return a simple text response, and NowSMS will use that text to reply back to the sender.

You can configure NowSMS to call different scripts for different first words of text of the received SMS.

More information can be found here:

Some examples of using PHP scripts for this "2-way" SMS can be found here:

A more limited ASP example can be found here:

You can certainly use languages other than ASP and PHP ... those are just two that I have some simple examples for.
