    As far as I know you will have to subscribe with a mobile operator to allow you send sms from your webpage and pay a certain amount per text. A cheeky alternative would be to integrate this script and avail of your free o2 web texts as notification messages !

    I think the above method might be a bit bold though.

    If you want to be "legal" about it there are a number of companies that offer a proper sms service... Prices will vary..

    If i can find a way of doing this thru JavaMail API, servlets and smtp i'll do it
    Its a college project so i'm trying to keep costs to a minimum!

    My knowledge and understanding of perl is non-existent, i need to do this in java or find a way to implement the script above!

    All advice is welcome!

    you could try pulling in the J2ME MIDP2.0 jars. they have SMS sending set up easy.

    I've been doin a lot of SMS stuff lately and after searching hard I found www.clickatell.com the cheapest at 4.4 cent per. You simply add credit to your account using a credit card and then send via any one of their API's with SMTP probably being the easiest.
