Can a web based mobile app send SMS message alerts to various cell phones?

We have a calendar scheduling app that needs to be able to send SMS text messages to cell phones. I am not sure how to begin on this. The app is a web app made using jQuery Mobile on a Lamp Stack.

I've sent text messages by way of email before. It's been a few years but last time I did it I just used these email suffix's:

T-Mobile: [email protected]
Virgin Mobile: [email protected]
Cingular: [email protected]
Sprint: [email protected]
Verizon: [email protected]
Nextel: [email protected]

where phonenumber = your 10 digit phone number

I've used Twilio for stuff like this before. The docs are here and they have a PHP library here.

You can setup a Twilio account, and then when your app wants to send an SMS it calls a PHP handler on your server that sends the request to Twilio. Works quite well for an equipment monitoring application I built last year.

if you can implement a SMS gateway using LAMP stack you can implement it. Web would be just front end for it.
