How would i go about sending SMS messages in C#.NET?

Would i have to have a GSM Modem connected to a phone line?

Well that is one options, or you can find a SMS Gateway Provider.
They will normally have some sort of API you can use.

Thats what i figured, Thanks. But are there any "free" options available? :D

No, why would there be? Know of any carrier that lets you send free SMS messages without paying anything? It's just the same.

You can email text messages.

That would defeat the purpose.

I literally just finished a project that does this.

Only some providers have that.

No. Haven found any thing that is free at least.

It would seem unlogical, and it would correspond to a free mobile carrier.

I did something similar, but web based, for a friend.

It's about the only way you can send a SMS via the web.

Google chat lets you chat with a mobile number via texting. For free.

If they can do it, then it's possible.

Yes, surely if a Fortune 500 company can do it, then I can too!

Yay!

Google should offer that service with an API. They have enough money to do it anyways.

You can do it through AIM using an oscarsock.dll/ocx. You just 'IM' a number with a + then country code; '[phone]' etc.
