Free sms providers and advertisments
my web app has an sms functionality, since i dont have any users yet, i was thinking of using a free sms provider (would not mind them insering adverts into the free sms) until i become profitable and then use paid sms services. Any help on good free sms providers?

- SingAlong 18y agoAs for receiving messages, receive SMSes on a phone connected to computer. Use a package like Gammu or Gnokii(http://www.gnokii.org http://www.gnokii.org) on your computer to read SMSes from your phone. Gnokii has wrappers for a lot of languages including Python. That should make you feel comfortable. There is another package like Gnokii that starts with 'K', which I'm not able to remember. You could use the free Email to SMS gateway to push messages. ex: phonenumber@carrier.com there'll be no ads in this so rejoice. :) A lot of carriers have this facility. But if you are from India you are out of luck to push messages. Coz only a few carriers have this kinda facility. And even if they have it, you still have a problem since email-to-sms gateway urls are different for each state even for a single carrier. And since we the frequencies in India are auctioned based on circles(areas), there are a lot of small carriers which operate in just 1 or 2 states.
