In my humble opinion, professionals should first check out possibilities and options for them selves before asking questions.
Basicly you want some server to send and receive sms'es with. This kind of stuff pops up regularly, so I suggest you use the search to find out some more about the available options. Also take into account scalability and cost!
hi

Hi, i currently working in a sms company, i think i can give u some picture~
ur scenario is, u wan a mobile user, to send a sms to bank, in order to perform someting. it will going to be like this
FIRST, u have to go to the mobile service provider (those company who offer u the mobile number), they will having a API that able to communicate to their SMS Inbox (just like ur email inbox)
SECOND, u have to apply a SMS Inbox at the mobile service provider with a short code given (see example below).
THIRD, u just develop a java application using the API the mobile service provider gave, when a sms is sent into that sms inbox, a trigger to ur application, and the msg can retrieve. it can be so easy like just receiveSMS(), you will get the sender phono number together with the sms content, take it and process whatever u like. after that, u can send the sms back to the user, using the same API provided by the mobile service provider too-- sendSMS(sender_mobile, content).
user sent a sms with the content "XYBANK BALANCE <account no> <password>" and send to 8885555 (example)
where
XYBANK = shortcode (actually represent the sms inbox name, just like ur email address)
BALANCE = ur own decide code, when u receive the sms, u split the msg, if u found "balance", then go to the db and take out the balance of the particular account no.
hopefully it will give u a brief pic how this thing can work. btw....if u develop for the academic purpose only...i dont think the mobile service provider will give u the API.... >.<

first of all, I can't imagine that you could not find any other information on this topic, since this kind of stuff has been covered many times already.

Surely it is possible, but as I already pointed out in my first reply: think about cost and scalability. First of all: sending an sms from a real mobile device is more expensive than via the opperator. Secondly, the device will only be able to cope with a limited number of sms'es at one time.
You can obviously equip a PC with a sh*tload of GSM modems to be able to receive and send SMS'es, but first of all, every modem will have another number, so scaling will not work very well for the users that will have to remember x different numbers to send sms'es to.
If you can live with these limitation, then that's fine. Just buy some mobile GSM terminal that can be connected to the PC using serial or USB port, get an AT Comman manual, and learn how to send and receive sms'es via AT Commands.
hi allsorry to distrube you again and againcan we send AT commands from j2meif yes can u provide some sample code at itsshahzad83@hotmail.comthanks in advanceshahzad
> can we send AT commands from j2me
Generally no, there are a few phones out there that can do it, but most don't.
You don't need any j2me anyway. Just connect the phone to the PC and just use it as a normal modem via a serial port api (one is available for java). Then you can just write a normal application on the PC

> xxxxxxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com
You'd probably want to remove your email address. It will only het you more spam!
