Question ID: 700613
I am researching building a website that will allow users to SMS
message one another through the site.  The site will be similar to the
likes of www.textmelater.com or www.dadamobile.com.

My specific question is what back-end service do these websites use to
send text messages to different phone numbers of different carriers
and how do these web sites send sms messages without being charged by
the cellular phone companies?

I am not a programmer, but if there are open source back-end solutions
or other software solutions that I can be directed to, than that would
help me to understand the nature of setting up a web site service that does
SMS messaging. Additionally any other contact information about
setting up such a service with U.S. cellular companies would be
helpfull too.
