Starting a SMS Sending portal, Ideas Required

[joerudy1988]

The startup cost is quite high for SMS service in my opinion.

Stupid method but it works: Get a mobile ... make that into a SMS gateway ... you'd need a good constant internet connection otherwise it'd be unreliable. Andriod market actually lets you download a SMS gateway app (google 'SMS gateway andriod'). It's a stupid method and you shouldn't bother doing it but it's worth telling.

any1 can make me what putin is saying? I will like to have a service like this.. and give free sms in my local country only using my phone as sms gateway..

I will be paying a fair price for someone who can do this job.

I think you should start by looking at a service "smsall.com" or which was previously referred as "chopal.pk". You have to build a custom script for that, do you have any ideas how to do that ? And sending SMS from your cell phone is a very bad idea, you can't really rely on the "SMS packages" different companies are offering. They would expire very soon, and then your service would go down.

Are you interested in sending free SMS only? Or do you need Premium SMS to charge users also?

I only need offering free sms.. no hidden charges to users.. and yes the idea of using the phone is great for me. even if you're saying relying on SMS packages of ISP is a bad idea. for me it is a great idea.. making my phone subscribe to unlimited text to all network locally in our country is not a problem.

any1 can do this?

mate, sms gateway is the only solution, because your sim cannot able to send more than 1 sms per 5-6 seconds..

so contact any sms gateway provider, sure you will find a quality one
