Sending SMS as confirmation:

The possible solutions are:

1- Sending SMS from the server.

This is the most convenient way of doing it. However, after a lot of searching 
I found out that:

i) The services on the web including SMS Gateway ..etc are not for free.
ii) Using the Gmail to do SMTP to be able to send SMS to the mobiles is 
restricted in the GAE. I have tried it so many times.

2- Keep sniffing from the server at the client side.

I found it too expensive to do. It is like killing the app efficiency and 
making the user paying a lot o money to listen to the confirmation reply.

So, based on these givens, I decided not to make the SMS confirmation part, and 
felt that confirmation just by e-mail is suffice.
