What are the ways to send sms through a java application?

Question

I'm new to this concept of sending sms through java application, can you people help me by saying what are all the ways to send sms from an application

Is your application web? Does it have to run locally? Please provide more details. — vz0, Jun 04 '14 at 10:03
are you using a physical GSM modem or a sms sending gateway ? In the first case it's enough write the correct AT commands on the device, in the second case it depends on your particulare SMS Sending Gateway — BigMike, Jun 04 '14 at 10:06

ESBs like Mule, Camel or Spring Integration include connectors for this.

Take a look at:

Yes, you can send sms through Java but for that you need to sms gateway provider. There are some gateway providers which allow you to send sms free of cost like way2ms, indyarocks etc.

For indyarocks you can refer the following code :

String email = "//your mail id"; //http://www.indyarocks.com/ 
String user = "//indyarocks user id";    
String pass = "//indyarocks password";
String number = ""; //no on which sms is to be send   
String msg = "";//message to be send
try{
       try {
                String mURL;
                mURL = "http://www.onl9class.com/smsapi/smsir.php?email=" + email + "&user=" + user + "&pass=" + pass + "&number=" + number + "&msg=" + URLEncoder.encode(msg, "UTF-8");
                URL url = new URL(mURL);
                BufferedReader reader = null;            
                reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), "UTF-8"));
                String aline;
                aline = reader.readLine();
                while (aline != "") 
                {     
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,""+aline);
                    break;
                }
                if (reader != null) 
                {
                    try 
                    {                    
                        reader.close();                    
                    } finally  
                    {
                        System.out.println("Error ");
                    }
                }            
            } catch (Exception ex) 
                {
                    System.out.println("Error "+ex);
                }
        } catch(Exception ex){
            }

try sending sms on any other number because its working for me – Java Enthusiast Jun 04 '14 at 11:39
should i've to add 91- or +91 before the number or what its not working for me @gau123 – Sasi Dunston Jun 04 '14 at 11:55
you don't need to add 91 or +91..is it printing anything on the console output window ? @SasiDunston – Java Enthusiast Jun 04 '14 at 11:58
its executing the finally block printing Error – Sasi Dunston Jun 04 '14 at 11:59
if it is just printing the word "Error" then message must have been sent..it indicates successful message delivery..check the number on which you are sending sms for "DND User"..if it is, then message will not be delivered..these gateways don't send messages to DND Users – Java Enthusiast Jun 04 '14 at 12:02
thing hat it worked for one time and not on another time along with that i need know how it works can you send me a detailed instructions of how it works dunston08@gmail.com – Sasi Dunston Jun 04 '14 at 12:08
