When developing an application that you intend to release to the public, it really is worth investigating commerical SMPP aggregators/gateways. I've also seen small test implementations where a small "server" with an EVDO card was setup to send/receive messages to/from a service. This setup enables developers to take advantage of most of SMPP's capabilities by having a single device act as the primary SMPP communication interface for the application/service until a development or business agreement was struck with a SMPP gateway provider.
