I just looked at their API Jerry. It's the sort of thing I wouldn't touch 
with a barge pole.

Their API works like this. You install their app on your phone. Then to 
send an sms from your app on your phone, you send the sms to their 
server, their server pushes it back to the app on the phone, and the app 
on the phone then sends the sms from the phone.

Given that there's an api in the phone already to send an sms (which 
their app uses), if you wanted to send an sms from your app, wouldn't it 
make more sense to call the phone's api directly, rather than sending the 
message through a third party server off the phone which simply bounces 
it back to an app on the phone which calls the phone api.

I can't see the benefit to the person developing apps on a phone of 
sending sms in such a convoluted manner, although I guess the people 
running smsgateway.me are happily harvesting any data they can from the 
sms texts passing through their system.

Daft doesn't begin to describe it. And why would you be using php to code 
on an android device? It would make a lot more sense to code in java and 
use the native apis.
