Everyone's thinking this is 10x harder than it is! This is for sending REAL TEXT MESSAGES, from a REAL PHONE NUMBER; you don't need to know the receivers carrier or any of that BS, just their cellphone number. 1) Signup for http://www.TextandVoicemail.com - you get to choose your own dedicated phone number (like 480-123-4567); they have #'s in almost all area codes in the United States and Canada. Select your phone number. 2) Click "PHP API" When logged in & Activated. You already start with a good amount of free credits to test with/use. Copy your API Key (dont share it w/ anyone) 3) Integrate into your site as you wish, the below script will send a real text from your selected phone number to anyone you input (now you can modify this however you wish, like send verification texts, prank friends, marketing services, you name it). *Paste YOUR API KEY where it says YOURAPIKEY <? $apikey = "YOURAPIKEY"; // Your exact API Key $themessage = ""; // The text message to send $sendto = "4801234567"; // Send to this number, numbers ONLY // dont edit anything below unless youre familiar with PHP $encoded = base64_encode($themessage); $replacewith = array("+", "="); $replacers = array("7PLUS7", "7EQUALS7"); $themsg = str_replace($replacewith, $replacers, $encoded); $pingapi = file_get_contents("http://www.textandvoicemail.com/api.php?key=$apikey&to=$sendto&msg=$themsg"); if ( $pingapi == "sent" ) { echo "Message Sent!"; } else { echo "Message not sent (<b>$pingapi</b>)"; } ?> Code (markup): Oh yeah forgot to mention, you can read all text messages sent TO your new number online through their dashboard (and receive/listen to voicemails too if that interests you). Enjoy! Open up your mind to the possibilities you can do with this, it's incredible.
OH! It was a little hidden but I figured you may all be interested! Bulk credit purchases (noteably cheaper, as low as $0.017 per text message flat. Incredible). http://www.textandvoicemail.com/bulk.php
