Hi,
I would like to write an application sending SMS. Application (in fact - Windows Service) will work in a separate server or computer at the company.It will host the web services through WCF. Network services would have functions to send SMS.
My question: What is the best way to send SMS via C#? cell at the usb plug to the PC and AT commands? Use a smsgate, somewhere in the internet? Or maybe even some other way?
What are the pros / cons of each alternative.
When it comes to price or cost of operating such a system, it does not matter. This must be the best solution.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The "best" way is, in my humble opinion, to use a real cell phone.

The "best" is always subjective and directly tied to the conditions/environment in which you're operating. You're a programmer - write it every way you can think of and gather your own metrics. Refine your google searches so that you can gather this info. The answers you're going to get when you ask a question on a forum are going to be restricted to the stuff people actually have experience with., and you're STILL going to have to evaluate it yourself to be be sure you've selected the "best" way for your code. If you just take someone's word for something, you're not exercising due diligence nor an abundance of caution, which will dilute your selection even more.
