The point is covered in most of the posts returned by simply searching for "sms".

SMS messagesing is a rather costly excercise.

In the UK, it costs an average 10p (before tax) (EURO 0.16, US$ 0.16) to send a message from a mble handset.

When using a web-provider to do such a task, they can have upwards of 1000 users, with a (example) usage of 2 messages a day.

That works out to £2000 a day. Though is is rather exagerated, and wouldn't cost that much. However, the theory still applies.

Most people gave up creating SMS scripts, when provider started changing there web-pages. They did this often, to prvent script like this, from using there services.

As such, tecinques such as:

magic-cookies: A number embeded inside a hidden form element, that must match when posting a message, these need to be parsed, and returned when sending a message.

ssl: sockure sockets are more in use, to provide customer security, with the added advantage of blocking most scripts.

multiple layouts: some site now [censored] the design of there site at random, some even change the design of table elements, such that the site's look doesn't change. This makes parsing the site hard.

As such, it makes working with such sites hard in scripts. As parsing is required, to detect cookies, and which design is in use. Then the message can be submitted.
