SMS Solution question. Pleeeease I need help

Hello, your royal geeknesses!!!
I'm a newbie to drupal and I decided to use it as it was sugested to me the best open source option to solving an SMS application question I am having.
I have spent time studying the SMS Gateway module and the SMS Framework module which are supposed to give Drupal great SMS functionality.
However, I seem not to be able to move beyond the mere basics, hence I need some helpful pointers from you gurus.
What I need to do is simple. In conjunction with Clickatell as my gateway, I need mobile phone users in a particular locality to sms in their biodata to a short code number (provided by Clickatell, of course) which then forwards it to my drupal installation and drupal should be able to process the information and store in a prepared database. On success, it should then issue a response to the mobile phone user.

Now, I installed the SMS Gateway, and was able to configure my Clickatell account to work with it. It connects ok but then, how do I get other modules in drupal to work with SMS Gateway to send and receive data (I could not find any documentation to that). I'd appreciate all the help and pointers i can get. If push comes to shove, I am willing to pay for tutelage.

Thanks.
