Very much depends on your country, but have a look at esendex.com they offer a very good api, I can speak from experience! There isn't a python SDK, but they have examples in other languages, so it shouldn't be too hard to draft one up and all there specs are based on standard protocols and are well documented.
They can also received texts on your behalf and will ping your servers with the messages. If you sign up they give you a free account for a while, if this isn't enough call them and explain the situation, they gave us 1500 free text's to use whilst we developed the system. Been very impressed by them Mat -----Original Message----- From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Papalagi Pakeha Sent: 23 January 2008 04:27 To: django-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Sending SMS messages On Jan 23, 2008 5:01 PM, John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Let me try and answer your questions. > > Do you need to receive SMS?
