Basically, you need to make an HTTP request from your Java application to submit the message to NowSMS.

Keep in mind that NowSMS is not a bulk SMS service provider, and is not a replacement for an SMS service provider. You do require a subscription to an SMS service provider, or a GSM modem, in order to send any message through NowSMS.
