Exccuse me,
may I ask is there any API for sending SMS mesaages to mobile phone through programming?
If there is any, may I ask if there is any recommended one which is morer reliable and have more reasonable prices?
Using SMPP is overkill unless you are planning to send smses at the speed of 50 a second or more.
For incidental sending of SMSes you can use HTTP calls to a SMS gateway. The Call will be similar to:
http://www.somesmsgateway.com/api.php?to=31612345678&msg=helloworld&username=yourusername&password=yourpassword
an example of such a gateway is clickatell
Take look at Smpp OpenSource
SUMMARY:
SMPP stands for Short Message Peer to
Peer. It is a communication protocol
designed for transfer of short
messages between short message centre
and SMS application.
Zeep Mobile or use an Aggregator
There are tons of SMS providers. You should take a look at PW,
Nexmo, Twilio, Hoiio, Zeepmobile, etc comes to mind.

I'm looking for a library to do requests to Viber messenger server.
I need to:
send messages to users;
check sent messages delivery status;
check that a user has Viber account.
I know that Viber has no open API for developers, but maybe someone has experience with reverse engeneering of Viber protocol or some else methods of communication with Viber.
Or if someone can do it, please, write me, I have a suggestion for you.
All I did was createing an applicaion for UIautomate of viber message sending using viber desktop application.
if you want to send bulk messages or messages to your contact do this way.

My current project requires us to receive text messages online. It's hard to wade through the search results as many of the are just websites with about 10 numbers for everyone to use.
I am looking for services along the lines of what is being offered at http://www.tropo.com
You can send and receive text messages online on your own private generated phone number within the US or Canada.
Preferably free, just need a few more before I make any decisions
Thanks!
Disclaimer, I do developer evangelism part time at Nexmo.
Here are a few paid SMS APIs:
Nexmo
Twilio
Tropo
You may be able to hack something together that works for free, but you risk that solution being disabled by whatever provider you use (for example, some people send SMS via Google Voice, but I wouldn't recommend relying on that).
Since you're receiving SMS, Nexmo would be a good solution when it comes to price. You only pay for the virtual number (roughly $1 a month), and all incoming messages are free.
Try www.twilio.com they have a good API and it is free while testing.

Do you know any tool that can be used for visually inspecting SMPP packets? A tool that accepts a byte array or string as input and lets us check the fields quickly.
I searched alot but all of the tools were actually code libraries instead of being a tool.
Wireshark has the capability to recognize SMPP packets when given a tcpdump.
Here's a commercial product that can inspect SMPP traffic and apply actions when a byte/string pattern is matched: http://tritux.com/product/NetCop
I'm involved in the tech team behind this product, some of its basic usage is to inspect SMPP traffic to detect deliver_sm PDUs and check for per-subscriber throughput, if one subscriber is sending deliver_sm PDUs more than (let's say) 6 per second than it is more likely to be a malicious mobile terminal (maybe a simbox) flooding the SMSC with MO traffic, NetCop is able to take actions like:
Sending a notification to the user
Blocking (barring) SMS-MO traffic on user (through the telco's intelligent network integration)
...

I'm building a web application and i want to send Snail Mail automatically by server side, Is there any good APIs for that? ( i don't mind about the cost )
P.S. I'll hate you if you say it's not programming related, and i bet many coders here would love to know.
Thanks!
Here's a list of mailing services I found with APIs, or something close to it
https://click2mail.com/ (REST and SOAP)
http://www.postalmethods.com/ (SOAP)
http://l-mail.com/ has an 'integration' account. It is not clear how automatable sending a letter is.
http://www.cfhdocmail.com/ (SOAP)
http://www.ezgram.com/ has an HTML based interface you might be able to reverse engineer
https://www.trypaper.com/ (REST)
https://www.lob.com/ (REST)
I just found Postal Methods API. I haven't really seen any others.

Is there any service that receives emails users send to me, parse the content and call my API?
I would do it myself but don't want to mess with mailservers, cronjobs, etc
Thanks
I approached this problem a week or so ago whilst trying to provide one of our developers to not write something. There is nothing out of the box or hosted that I've found.
The nearest thing I've seen is a DIY SMTP framework in Python which is quite powerful (Lamson). It allows you to receive email, process it and call external services or store the message content.
http://lamsonproject.org/
Hope this helps.
Google App Engine has a mail API built in, that seems very simple to use, just forward the email to string#appid.appspotmail.com
I will use that, calling the API of my app hosted in heroku.
Thanks Chris for your answer, it is very good to know that a simple email framework exists!
SendGrid.com also offers this service. http://sendgrid.com/docs/API_Reference/Webhooks/parse.html
