Send SMS

[systech44]

I am trying the following code to send SMS.

<?php
  $gatewayURL  =   'http://localhost:9333/ozeki?';
  $request = 'login=admin';
  $request .= '&password=abc123';
  $request .= '&action=sendMessage';
  $request .= '&messageType=SMS:TEXT';
  $request .= '&recepient='.urlencode('+9898989898');
  $request .= '&messageData='.urlencode("Hello World");

  $url =  $gatewayURL . $request;

  //Open the URL to send the message
   file($url);
?>

But I am getting the following error message.


Warning: file(http://localhost:9333/ozeki?login=ad...ta=Hello+World) [function.file]: failed to open stream: Connection refused in /home/vpe/public_html/_demo2/sms/sms2.php on line 13

Please help to rectify my code. Thanks a lot in advance.

The system i have is where you have to select the wireless carrier before you send the message. If you are interested i can find it for you.

Hello and thanks a lot of you all.

After reviewing all these I think I need to purchase a gateway to send SMS. Is it correct ? Is there any free gateway available ?

What if I wish to design my own gateway ? Am I need to get my own server ?
Please provide some information on this issue.

Warm Regards.

I remember that I joined one awhile ago that gave you the ability to send about 5 free sms before you needed to join and pay for the service. I haven't actually checked whether there are any services for free.

I think, buying a cheap bulk sms plan is the best
Most of them provides free API integration as well as free sender id.
