It is quite simle to send an automatic confirmation email to people after they have filled in a form on your website.
I was wondering now if the same would be possible via SMS, so, instead of confirming their submission by email, doing it by text message.

The idea occurred because they have a system at my doctor's surgery: whenever you have booked an appointment, you get a reminder SMS 24 hours prior to the appointment.

Are there any scripts, or is there any code to put your own mobile phone in action in this way?

I know there are certain websites from which you can send a free SMS by filling in the recipient's number and the message you wish to send, so there are probably scripts available to achieve wha I wish to do.

The only thing I would like, of course, is that the sending of SMS's is free.
I wouldn't wanted to be presented with a hefty bill just for providing a service to people (or at least testing such a service for a while first).

Also, would the opposite be possible, could I put a form on my website where people can contact me via SMS without me having o reveal my mobile phone number?
Would a script for that be available?
I have had a look on hotscripts.com, but have not really found what I was looking for there.

Can anyone come up with some other suggestions, please?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you ever so much for those links, web_designer.
yes, i thought it was an idea worth thinking about too, which is why I posted about it.

I have only just started looking at the sites and already found some things that might be very usesful.

i will certainly not hesitate to share my findings with other people who are interested in a project like this.

Thank you once again, and I will be posting further information soon.
