Please forgive my ignorance, but what's sms gateway?
why do I need to deal with sms gateway?
In US, if you want to send email to a phone, you just
send it to the "right" email address. For example, if
your customer has a phone 123456 from sprint pcs, the
customer will receive message for every email sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] It seems to me that
sms gateway belongs to phone company.
