What you're looking for is an API to an SMS service on the internet, and
that will take some looking around. I don't know that there is one. What you
might need to do is send an HTTP post to one of the web sites that supports
SMS messaging.

You can't do SMS messaging directly from your desktop. The reason you can do
it from a mobile device is because a: They're connected to the wireless
network b: mobile devices have SMS capabilities built in. Your desktop
computer has neither of these, so to send SMS messages, you need to use a
service that's been made available, that bridges this gap. There is nothing
built-in to do this, however.

Take a look around on the Nokia website. I thought I saw a SDK that said it
has what you are looking for. Could be wrong though.

If you are happy with paid services, there are web services published around
which do this. visit www.xmethods.com and find if there's anything that
