simplesms is a free/open source SMS/USSD gateway for building applications
that are based on basic short message service (SMS) and unstructured 
supplementary service data (USSD) mobile phone technology. It provides a
simple API for sending and handling incoming SMS, USSD responses and 'Flashing'
(phone calls that you do not intend to be picked up, instead to call attention)
