The form action contains a querystring, which is being processed by the script of the target page, and returns a response.

It looks like the form fields have been named wrong. If you change the form as follows, it works:

<form action="http://intext.smscard.com/" method="post" >
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="a" value="api_balance">
<INPUT NAME="login" SIZE=30> Your name<BR>
<INPUT NAME="password" SIZE=50> Your Mobile<BR>

<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send Message">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear">
</FORM>

cdmsdev should be entered as the test values for name and mobile.
