Being fairly geezerly, I know almost nothing about this, so be gentle.

text messaging gateway?
[/snip]
It is fairly simple and we offer that from one of our sites (because it
is a cell phone service provider). In this case we use PHP to send the
information to the SMS gateway that the provider owns. It is a one way
operation - send only, no receive. You'd have to get into near-real time
CDR's etc - for receiving and it isn't worth it.
All of the commercial gateways that I am familiar with offer API's that
are simple and easy to implement.
