I’ve found a bajillion of tutorials saying how to send sms out from a server but I was wondering if anyone could help point me in the right direction to find a way for people to ‘text’ to my site an entry and have the app parse the text into the database?

So here’s the scenario:

- Mobile user wants to contribute on the site
- He text’s the app (prolly need a special number i guess?)
- The app receives and parses the text and makes an entry into the database
- Then it ends up on the site

Any help would be great. 🙂
