How to you get inbound sms into DHIS2? (From Generic HTTP Gateway into DHIS). If this functionality has not been implemented yet, is there a work around, like directly populating a table in the database or sending a GET/POST request to a particular port/socket
There are two things to note. The SMS Gateway that you set in DHIS2 is for any outbound text messaging. The URL Template should be based on your SMS service provider’s template. This will allow you to forward SMS messages from DHIS2 to the SMS service provider that will handle the delivery of the messages.
URL TEMPLATE IS FROM the SMS Provider
On the other hands, you should also configure a URL from the SMS service providers to forward ALL messages probably using a keyword to a DHIS2 instance. The latest version of DHIS2 2.28 has recently changed its SMS API that will receive and process SMSes as below.

It is working…Thanks for all the help. I have been able to do it on the test server and will be cascading the same to production server.
Please note that we are currently testing this feature with http://www.kannel.org/ SMS gateway with a USB modem. We will be moving to an SMS Provider once the implementation is sustainable. Will consult you on that.
