We are wanting to use PHP and the mail function to send many Text messages a day, we are talking thousands. Is this a reliable way to it? Our hope is that we will not need to use an SMS gateway provider. Will there be any faults to just using plain PHP to send these text messages.
Thanks

No. You'd need to special case each network, and I'd expect "thousands of messages a day" to get treated a spam.
Our hope is that we will not need to use an SMS gateway provider.
How else do you expect to get data from the Internet onto the SMS network?
