does any know how to approach sending sms or mms over a mobile network and not using e-mail on your phone?

I'm not sure exactly as to what you are asking. What do you mean sending SMS:es and MMS:es without using email on the phone. Email is not used to send those message types. Please explain and I might know what you ask for.

To send an MMS for instance you just encode the message, put it on a webserver ready to be accessed (with webserver setup to deliver the right content-type for that message type) and then send out a push notification to the recipient containing the URL of where to download the message from (the push notification is usally delivered using SMS as bearer). On receiving the push notification the recipient phone will start downloading the message from the web server using WAP/GET->[WAP/GW]->HTTP/GET towards the web server.

Sending SMS:es without access to an SMSC can be done with a phone attached to your PC over a serial link for instance. Check out the Kannel project for instance http://kannel.org for instance.

Hi guys,
Sorry, kind of off-topic, but do you know of a push gateway operating on a live CDMA network which it is possible to use for sending push notifications to a CDMA device? We need this for testing MMS functionality, but we don't have access to carrier's push gateway.
Openwave has one such gateway for testing, but it's GSM-specific.
Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure that Kannel can do it but you can have a look at http://www.kannel.org and perhaps ask people there on the mailinglists as there are many telecom people there.
