I've become quite enamored with Google SMS. It's given me some ideas for other useful SMS interfaces. SMS seems like a convenient way to implement a mobile command-line interface to useful server-side services. To make that feasible, I want a handy gateway that translates incoming SMS messages into HTTP POST requests. Here's roughly the way I want it to play out:
- I send an SMS to 123-456-7890
- The gateway receives the message
- The gateway POSTs the following to a URI of my choice
- message content
- originating phone number
- If the HTTP response contains text content, the gateway uses it as the body of an SMS reply to the original sender
- Otherwise, no SMS reply is made
Apparently this service is offered in Europe, but I haven't found anything equivalent in the US. A thread on webmasterworld discusses roughly what I want, but I didn't find anything useful from it. Any suggestions?
