    You can buy a GSM modem that you connect to your server. That way, you can send SMS-messages using the serial COM-port and an OCX for serial communication.
    Or you can open an account with a SMS provider (eg. www.mobileweb.be, www.quios.com) where you can buy SMS-messages in bulk. Then it's only a matter of sending an e-mail to that account, to send your SMS-message.

    I developed an small SMS-server by applying the Derdack component (see: www.derdack.com) and a common mobile, connected to one of my serial ports.

    Every 1 minute, the server polls a table in Navision. In case there is a new message in the table, the SMS-server sends it. In case somebody sends an SMS to the server, the message will be stored in the same table, so the proper person can read it.

    I applied VB to develop this.
