You do realize that this means your site will only work as long as your laptop is switched on and in reach of a cell tower so it can sent the SMS?
Anyway, I remember several years ago working with a SMS module connected to a linux machine, what we did (as the http server ran on a different machine) was simply send an email to a specific mail address, on the machine with the SMS module a little script would poll the mailbox every few minutes and once an email was found the body was read. The body contained something like this: Sender user ID ### Telephone number Telephone number ... ### Message ... ### Each telephone number on the list would all telephone numbers that would get the message the Sender user ID was simply for internal tracking just in case someone would send something that was less appreciated by the receiver(s) Using the chanel or XMPP communication is an option but as you are going to be using a laptop to do the sending you have to make the assumption that the laptop will not be always on. By using the mailbox and the polling script your mail server will "cache" the messages till your laptop is available again and the polling script can be bothered to pick up the emails. (of course the mail solution will introduce a bit more delay between the user hitting the button and the SMS being send but with the sending system being a laptop I have the feeling that this might not be such a big drawback) Personally I don't see why this stuff should be done by a laptop but its your system and I am sure you have a good reason to use the setup as you are planning to do.
