>Hi Tharaka
>The method used to sms directly from any program depends on your local Cell Phone Companies. Generally, they have some utility and/or way to send SMS through emails. So, from VFP, it just comes to sending the email to the specific address. You can send emails straight from VFP either by using Outlook automation, or MAPI objects, or HTTP classes from West Wind.

There are international gateways(one of them we use - www.netsize.com). They provide ActiveX for connection through internet, which very easy could be implemented in VFP.
Gateway service providers have connections with all Cell Phone Companies worldwide
