        if ($lenthof_number >= 10) {
            $message = $_REQUEST['message'];

            $username = urlencode($username);
            $password = urlencode($api_password);
            $sender = urlencode($sender);

            $parameters = "username=$username&api_password=$api_password&sender=$sender&to=$mobile&message=$message&priority=$priority";


            if ($method == "POST") {
                $opts = array(
                    'http' => array(
                        'method' => "$method",
                        'content' => "$parameters",

                $context = stream_context_create($opts);

                $fp = fopen("http://$domain/pushsms.php", "r", false, $context);
            } else {
                $fp = fopen("http://$domain/pushsms.php?$parameters", "r");

Probably your page exeeded the max execution time. Put following code on top of page and try:

ini_set("memory_limit","128M"); 
//ini_set("memory_limit","256M"); 
//this sets it unlimited
ini_set("max_execution_time",0);

There are two things : 1) first copy paste the url: http://$domain?username=$username&api_password=$api_password&sender=$sender&to=$mobile&message=$message&priority=$priority and check whether the sms is working or not. 2)secondaly you need to ask to your server providers(godaddy) to allow you to interact(allow permission) with your sms server domain.For this you can also try to change the permiisons of your file which have all the above code. – Vikas Umrao Nov 19 '13 at 03:55

Add this on the top of your PHP Script

<?php
set_time_limit(0);
