I want to send an SMS message from my facebook application so that the user get an SMS informing her of updates (if there is any) in my application.
Does anyone know if graph api supports this?
This was answered by Facebook staff last year - SMS through Facebook Graph API
I'd say that SMS API functionality is dead.

I want to create a web application using PHP which will allow to connect Facebook accounts with my application and once they authenticated my application can fetch inbox messages of that user and can auto reply to the messages received against authenticated Facebook accounts.
Also, allow user to send messages manually from my application to Facebook inbox.
Is this possible with Graph API or any other Facebook API which will allow me to do above mentioned things.
Some people was told that this feature is no longer available after Facebook Graph API v2.4.
and once they authenticated my application can fetch inbox messages of that user and can auto reply to the messages received against authenticated Facebook accounts.
Neither of those two things is possible.
You can not read the messages of user accounts any more, and you can not reply in their name either.
The only messaging that can be handled via API, is that between a user and a page.
Assuming you refer to Page conversations, not user conversation, see /conversations and /messages docs here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/conversations/
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v5.0/conversation/messages
I saw that is possible to use Graph API to send message to a user, but I didn't find nothing about send message to a page. Is it possible?
It is not possible with the API, you can only reply to a User message as Page. Sending messages from Users to Pages is not really neccessary, Users can just use the Messenger for that. Prefilling would not be allowed anyway.
I'm planning to write a web service to automate some task for my Outlook.com email account. I want Outlook.com to send an HTTP request to my endpoint when an email arrives, so that I don't need to poll the server. Does Outlook.com provide such functionality?
That API has been deprecated.
You must use: microsoft graph
Outlook provides webhooks via what they call push notifications. You'll find details on this API in the Outlook Push Notifications REST API reference. The capability exists to receive events for a wide variety of resources, including email messages in Outlook.com.
You might also find some useful capabilities for notification of changes to messages with Use the Microsoft Graph API to get change notifications and Keeping messages and mail folders up to date in apps.
I´m trying to track messages sent to my Facebook friends.
For example: I sent a message to James Bond, how do I know if he read it or not?
The Facebook Graph API does not support this yet - http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/message/. I suspect this is because there is no guaranteed way to see if a message has been read or not based on how the user accesses their messages.
It would also require permission tokens to be passed in a three-legged (recipient to application, recipient to sender) verification.
I am trying to write a small program using Qt to send SMS messages to a mobile phone. Something like what Yahoo Messenger provides. You can send SMS messages to mobile phones if mobile service provider is supported. I would like to know what happens behind the scenes after you click "Send". Especially how does the message you send gets transfered from the server at yahoo to mobile service provider's network?
Yahoo would've purchased access to (or run their own) SMS gateway. The exact method of transferring the message from Yahoo->Gateway would depend on the gateway's API. Could be XML, could be a proprietary binary format, could be a simple HTTP POST, etc... The SMS gateway would take care of the details of getting the message into the back-end cellular data network and on to the recipient's provider's system.
The easiest way to do it is to buy credit with a company like SMS Global ( http://www.smsglobal.com/global/en/ ). I don't work for them, but I have used them in the past. You do a simple web request (with your account number), destination phone number and the message. It deducts credits each time you send an SMS. Obviously, you write it in to your business plan to cover the costs of this :)
They also offer services whereby you can receive SMS messages to your own web service.
Obviously, there are many other SMS gateways, but if you look at the site and the API you should have a general idea of how it works.
