Hello,

I would like to create a server that can send SMS on Linux (or
windows). I don't want to pay a provider on the Web and I would like
to use my own mobile phone chip as a "SMS modem".

So do you know if there exist easy solutions to connect, recognise a
mobile phone with the chip to the PC and then control it using Java
API or any tool.
Do you know if there exist box like routers model that can embed my
chip and I could control using network (HTTP, etc.) ?

Thanks a lot.

If the used cell phone can be accessed as a modem (via virtual COM-Port)
this schuld be possible:

http://www.developershome.com/sms/howToSendSMSFromPC.asp

I am not sure if the current Java version is capable of using a COM port
out of the box. I remember that there was a COM-support package required
back in Java 1.4 times.

You still have to pay for sending the SMS via your phone. In
that case you will be billed by the mobile provider you're
SIM-card belongs to.

Why?

I would expect the price you pay for SMS to be higher than
what an SMS aggregator that buy millions from the telco
pays.

And SMS aggregator will provide you with a simple HTTP
or SOAP/HTTP or SMTP interface that can be utilized from Java
without third party libraries.
