Suppose I want to send a message to mobile from my website across the world(irrespective of service provider),then what I need to do? Do I need to develope my qwn code or I just need to use the available services??

Also I would like to know if any type of mobile service exists??(for example message only,call only etc)

Short answer: use a commercial SMS gateway API unless you need direct hardware control or ultra-low cost at very high volume. Cloud providers expose simple HTTP/REST APIs, manage global routing, number provisioning and delivery receipts, and are the fastest, most reliable way to send SMS from a website. Good examples and developer docs are available from major providers. (twilio.com)

’s suggestion (connect a GSM device and send AT commands) is valid for small, local setups. A phone or USB GSM modem + a daemon (for example Gammu) turns a server into an SMS gateway you control—cheap for low volume but limited in throughput, geographic reach, and maintenance overhead. Use this when you must send from a local SIM or operate offline. (docs.gammu.org)

For production or high-volume messaging, use either a provider’s REST API (easy to integrate) or an SMPP connection to an aggregator/carrier (higher throughput, more setup). SMPP is the telecom-grade protocol used for bulk and low-latency messaging but requires more operational work and carrier relationships. Choose SMPP only when you need scale and price-per-message optimization. ()

Practical checklist and quick example:

  • Pick a provider first (trial credits help). Check pricing, supported countries, delivery receipts, two‑way messaging, and local sender-ID rules. A2P rules matter (US 10DLC/toll-free/short-code registration). (twilio.com)
  • Format numbers in E.164, implement delivery callbacks, and handle opt‑ins/STOP.
  • If testing a DIY modem route, use Gammu/ozeki and expect hardware fiddling.
    Simple HTTP example (replace with provider endpoint/credentials):
curl -X POST "https://api.sms-provider.example/messages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d "to=+14155551234" \
  -d "from=MySite" \
  -d "text=Hello from my website"

Notes tied to earlier replies: ’s “mail marketing” idea can work for bulk campaigns, but don’t rely on carrier email‑to‑SMS gateways for production; use a proper SMS provider for deliverability and compliance. ’s old PCWorld-style methods are interesting historically but modern APIs and regs make cloud providers the practical choice.

you need to write a code and a GSM device like mobile with datacable ,when you write a text and press send button your code will connect to your mobile or GSM device which send the data to any network.
