To use it with your own equipment you need to buy a GSM modem and then put your sim card into the modem and communicate with it that way.

If you want to use a shortcode and or premium rate then for starters I would look for a 3rd party to deal with this for you.

I currently use (link) for my experiments. They offer a pay as you go service.

I think that isp’s should offer this service like they do emails. If they did it would explode.
