Few of you asked me how my SMS sender works, so I will try to explain it.

First of all, it has not much with SMS. 🙂  
But…  
It is a Form-Mail. This mail I’m sending from the server (PHP).

Now the trick:  
The recipients e-mail is forwarded to mobile device, as an e-mail alert.  
This feature must be provided by your GSM provider.  
Here in Croatia we have just two providers (VipNet & CroNet) and at both of them this feature is free, but is must be turned on manually.  
First check out your GSM provider!!!

As the e-mail is just 145 character long (and plain text), the message is completly visible at recipients mobile device.  
BTW: I’ve set up my e-mail client to read these e-mails, so they are comming into my Inbox too.

If someone find a bug or has a question, please contact me.

Good luck! C:-)

If you want to send SMS to more than one person, you must be sure that all of them has this feature switched on. My friends have this feature, so I can send a multi SMS to all of them, but about this next time.

Thx.  
Yes, it is (Motion Tween).  
The upper line of the counters frame is a Shape Tween-ing.  
And a littlebit action scripting.
