I'm a student currently trying to develop an application called Bus Ticketing via SMS - using J2ME (using emulator). Where users can reserve their bus ticket using their mobile phone. (During the reservation process, users need to send SMS in order to get info to the next screen). I also created a website (using ASP - the reason why i'm not using JSP is because i have prior knowledge on ASP) for the admin to key in data. I'm using MS SQL Server 2000 as database.

The problem i'm facing rite now...

How can i utilize Now SMS/MMS Gateway to retrieve the data keyed in by the admin? Is this possible? Is it true that using a HTTP connection is easier? Can i use the emulator (instead of the real handphone - coz my Nokia 6510 doesn't support Java feature)

Is the structure such as....
HP (send SMS) > Gateway > Database > Gateway > HP (receive SMS reply)?
Please correct me if i'm wrong...

Please help as i'm very new to Mobile Technology....

Thanks a lot!
