Not Microsoft, but there are companies that offer SMS Gateway services that

run on Windows 2003. Here are some examples, but there are more. Just search

Google for SMS Gateway.

Let me try and answer your questions.

 

Do you need to receive SMS? If you need to receive SMS, you will need

to host your own GSM device or modem so that people can send you SMS.

 

If not, you can just use internet SMS gateways like clickatell to do

the work, and post to them by HTTP, XML or email. The cost is about

6-8 cents per SMS. There are cheaper services, but not always

reliable. If you need to host your own GSM device, you can use

software like http://www.kannel.org (GPL Open Source) or

http://www.visualgsm.com.

You responded to my post, but I'm sure you meant to respond to the OP

(original poster) and not to me.
