Is there a way to send sms from Android mobile phone to a server?

try posting the data to server.

public void postData() { // Create a new HttpClient and Post Header HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.yoursite.com/script.php"); try { // Add your data List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(2); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("id", "msgId")); nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("stringdata", "Msg u want send")); httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs)); // Execute HTTP Post Request HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); Log.v("myapp", "response " + response.getEntity()); String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()); } catch (ClientProtocolException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block } } 

You can refer to Android HttpPost: how to get the result http://www.anddev.org/doing_http_post_with_android-t492.html

You could try with HTTP-request and have a serverside script (php/java/...) collect the data and put it in the database. Encoding can be done with JSON (or one of its variants). The fact that you have a static IP makes this pretty easy.

If you have a dataconnection (and since you're using a smartphone, you probably have), you're better of using your internet connection

When you add a GPRS Modem to your server and insert an active SIM card in it, you can send SMSes to that number and then you still need some service that will read your SMS and convert/dumps the data to the server itself.
