i'm working on a project which requires me to build an information service for a local organization here. here is wat needs to be done:

1) A Mobile user sends an SMS message to a certain number

2) The mobile connection provider's SMSC receives the SMS message

PROBLEM#1: How do i get that SMS message from the SMSC to my own PC for processing?

3) After i've received the SMS message from teh SMSC, i process it, query a database according to the SMS string and return the results to the SMSC

PROBLEM#2: How do i send the SMS message back to the SMSC to return the database query results to the mobile user who sent the SMS?

i need any and all help possible that can aid me accomplishing this task. I'd appreciate if i could be referred to some Mobile SMSC Architecture or some classes/APIs/procedures could be recommended!!

I'd appreciate it if someone gave me a complete guide/overview of the process coz i'm really new at this stuff!! thx in advance!!
