Havent heard of such kind of java soft, but i've been using a lot of WAP to SMS gateways when i had free gprs. I paid zero for my messages (however most of gateways i knew are closed or not reliable anymore). Some of them were very professional and well organized, with own ponebook and even option to flash messages. With proper bookmark after login it wasnt more difficult to use than write a essage from phones sms menu.

Well what about those of us with phones like the T300 that have the option in the phone to set SMS via GSM or GPRS. How are thsoe different? I u7nderstand using a WAP page, but what about this option. Is it really any different? I mean am I jsut being billed for GPRS data and a SMS too?

At least with my operator, there's no difference. He charges the same.

The difference *would* be that sending SMS over GPRS would only charge the few bytes that you actually send. Problem is: most operators (e.g. all here in Switzerland) have locked their GPRS-Accesspoints for SMS. We were able to send SMS almost for free when GPRS had just started, but people switched that feature off quite soon...
So, if you could do that with some Java soft and a special gateway: NICE

For any Canadian users, I just talked to Fido about this subject today. They stated that while the phone and network are capable of SMS via GPRS, FIDO does not currently support it...
Big surprise... when you can charge 10 cents per message....

@ mad medik: u r right. they'll never support it even if available:)But still, it's not worth it especially nowadays when u can get bulk sms for so little money.

The option of sending SMS over GPRS in stead of GSM in the message settings wouldn't make it cost the same as the amount of bytes you transfer, because you only use another way of transport to your mobile carrier's SMSC. They would still charge you to use their SMSC and deliver the message to the recipient.
It doesn't matter to them how you transfer the message to them, you still use their network for the same amount of data.
I wish anyone knew the name of the service I mentioned before, that sends the SMS to another, cheaper, company's SMSC, who charge less to relay the message.

i already mentioned somewhere here but haven't read any feedbacks.at touch mobile (ph) once you changed the smsc of the NEW, UNUSED SIM before using it, u can send SMS ABSOLUTELY FREE! Me & my friend used it for several months..until someone from TM called & told us to check our SMS Settings or get disconnected from the network..
