Why is this exploitation? When I bought my cellcom phone, about 18 months
ago, I did it with the promise that Celcom will soon have a free SMS-sending
site. And they kept their promise. Making personal use of that site (and
sending an email to a gateway in the express purpose that the gateway uses
the site for you counts as personal use) is fair, in my opinion.
Anyway, if they block your IP, why don't you try doing this from another IP?
If you can't get another IP, you can try using your ISP's proxy server (if
it has one). If Orange or Cellcom block access to their sites to entire
ISPs' proxy servers, they'll cut the branch they're sitting on.

This is interesting news :) (P.S. I was under the impression that Orange
doubled their SMS prices a few months ago...)
Anybody knows if gosms.com still exist? They used to have a SMS-to-Email
gateway, and much more.
