One way to send SMS messages without depending on third party APIs is to use the Gammu program. It can communicate with a mobile phone connected to your machine and sends SMS messages from the phone to whatever recipients you want. This method of sending SMS messages may not be particularly fast, especially when you have to send many SMS messages, as it has to wait for one message to be sent, to send the next message. This class provides a solution to prevent that your PHP application needs to wait for each SMS message to be delivered before it can send the next one. It uses local message queues to post the messages. A separate script can pull each message from the queue and send it by communicating with the mobile phone using Gammu.
