Cellular/Network SMS integration for Quiz application

I tried with google but no success, what i want to do is to make sms poll/quiz type of thing where user can send sms to "7766" and get response like "Welcome to ABC. reply with 1 to get you new question, 2 with help, and 3 to view your result " . this will be a a two way communication and on sending any sms will cost $10 .

Here are my question: How can i do that? Do i need to ask sim [provider for tht Number (7766) This should work from some specific country only. I need to charge amount on entering the QUIZ.

Well as new to this, i dont see any starting point from wher i can start. I need reference or some one already did that or like this thn kindly share that.

Perhaps you can have an ecommerce solution on your website (Paypal for example) and then once your user has paid, they have access to a portion of your site that uses an HTTP SMS API. An example of a provider of such a service would be http://www.bulksms.co.uk/w/eapi-sms-gateway.htm

These APIs allow you to send messages, receive delivery reports and receive replies (amongst other things).

It's quite a wide-ranging question though.
