How can Twilio SMS messaging be integrated with SIP soft phones such as Bria and SessionTalk. Both those examples support sms messaging via SIP Simple but there is a dirth of documentation on how to set this up.
For the purpose of this question assume that a Twilio messaging service is already set up and tested to work. There is also an external server available if additional coding is required.
SIP SIMPLE is not a protocol Twilio supports, so direct integration is not possible.

I am looking for a solution to send an SMS over SIP to my SIP gateway.
I am running FreeSWITCH server and I am using SIP trunking to send and receive calls from my SIP provider.
The issue is resolved when dealing with calls because FreeSWITCH offers the possibility to bridge calls out to SIP gateway (mod_sofia via bridge application)
But it seems like FreeSWITCH does not support sending sms to sip gateway (mod_sms)
I am trying to work this arround by finding an open source trick with which I can send text messages to my SIP provider via the gateway I already have.
Kindly I am asking recommendations to solve this issue.
Regards.
I want to know how can I build my own Sms service provider?
In another say; What is needed to have a system to inject sms messages to the mobile network systems freely or is it possible at all?
with VoIP server we can do voice and video and text messaging through internet; but what about from internet to the land line or mobile network?
How Skype, smartvoip, etc. do this?
Please give me a direction that I could go through.
You need some sort of interface to the Mobile network to make this work. Your choices include:
build a system with a GSM/UMTS card or phone which you control to send SMS messages into the network. This will need a valid SIM and contract (and the small print may say that you are not allowed to use it to provide an IP to SMS service to others). If you google 'Asterix SMS Gateway' you can find several open source examples. You could also look at http://www.kannel.org/overview.shtml, although I am not sure how actively this is being maintained these days.
Build a front end for your SMS service and use an existing back end SMS service in whatever your target market is - i.e. connect directly to your local operators SMSC, most likely using SMPP protocol. This assumes the operator provides this service in your target network/market.
Use an SMS aggregator service such as MBlox or Clickatell
I want to send and run a USSD code on mobile phones via PHP. I have an SMS gateway, can I send it through SMS or do I need to purchase an other service? I have been searching the net and didn't come to a solution that's perfect for me.
Some company's support told me that I can send it using XML in SMS.
The USSD command I want to run is :
1. *21*___SOME NO____#
2. #21#
USSD and SMS are two different services that are both supported in 3gpp mobile protocols.
Check your documentation, or ask a support engineer at the organisation that supplies your SMS gateway to know if they also support USSD. If yes, then they should give you details on how to use it.
The interface to a USSD gateway is not standard, it will depend on how the individual company has implemented it.
A quick search on Google for the words "ussd gateway" brings up several USSD products.
I want to read sms in a mobile and process it in my server. I think it can be done with the help of GSM modem. But, i have been asked to do it without using GSM modem.Is there any other way to make it done?. If there is any other way, pls let me know.
(preferred languages to implement-java,c#/vb.net,php,c/c++)
Update based on comment:
I am planning to develop a SMS polling system using which our company employees can vote by sending SMS.
For example, the users will be asked to send sms in a particular format(say VOTE ) to a mobile number. I need to read the sms(which is in a mobile) from my server and it should be processed to calculate the result.
I think what you are looking for is a SMS Gateway. There are plenty of services out there; like For example this service http://clickatell.com/products/gateway.php
They usually provide an API that you can use to integrate it with your servers.
You have some basic information on SMS Gateways available on Wikipedia here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_gateway
And a list of SMS Gateways available here:

I hope to create a web server that can give some extra facilities for SMS Service Providers. Can I send SMS through internet? If its possible then, Are there any libraries for Send and Receive SMS over the internet?
There are many different options to send SMS over Internet, but most popular are the following:
Connecting to SMSC of mobile carriers directly (usually via SMPP protocol).
Connecting through some SMS aggregation service like Clickatell mentioned in previous answers.
Choice between these options depends mostly on non-technical issues:
Required coverage (mobile carrier will provide only messaging inside it's network).
Premium Rate billing possibility (this requires closer work with carrier).
Well, price too... :-)
Technically most popular options are:
Specialized protocols like SMPP (Short Message Peer to Peer).
HTTP based protocols provided by SMS aggregators.
If you need unified solution, I recommend to use Kannel open source SMS gateway that support many popular transports (SMPP, CIMD, UCP, HTTP, etc).
You've got www.Nexmo.com www.tropo.com www.twilio.com www.smsified.com ... and so on...
You can use http://www.clickatell.com/ which gives you a few options such as sending SMS one by one, or by using bulk files such as XML.
I found the clickatell API to be really usefull and easy, I managed to add SMS capability to an existing website in a few hours by creating a simple class to wrap up all the methods.
One thing to remember though this is not going to be free for you, there will be costs involved depending on where you send the text to, and where you are based.
You can send SMS programmatically through TheTexting API, They provide cheap rates and their service is really good.
Full disclosure: I work for company that makes this product.
