Hi All, I need to create the SMS functionality in PHP. Do you have any idea of Open Source SMS gateway which i can use?

    If you have any idea of how SMS works, you'll know it's not
possible. SMS is a protocol built upon a network for which you'll be required to license (and pay for) access and usage. It's not a script you could install.
indeed been down this avenue myself - best free way I could find of doing it for free(?) is to find the email address format for the major carriers (there is a list on wikipedia) then send an email to 241412341234@carrier.smstoemailgateway.domain where the numbers are the phone number.
