Sir,
Aryabhatta Geo-informatics & Space Application Centre (AGiSAC),Shimla,
Himachal Pradesh, India has done work on sms. We visited this center one
day during our Off-Campus training programme at Shimla, and they described
about their work including sms based services.

They may be contacted further to provide insight of the work.
Regards
