Velma,I am afraid of posting the way. Because those are not providing any official API, so, we have only one method to create our own API using Curl Library. And ofcourse I searched a lot about free sms api but not find anyone.And in concern with Way2sms, currently I am using this feature by forwarding gmail mails to Way2sms but not whole inbox. I also tested it with Yahoo mail as well.

Alright, to do this, you will want to forward the message to a specific email address. This email will then be what notifies your phone that you got a message. This site (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/email-to-sms/) has a lot of different ones on it, where you put your email in the format number@service.com, and it will send the SMS to you.This should help get you started!
