iT DEPENDS on which country you are in.
In Canada you can send a text message to any mobile phone simply by sending an email to the phone number followed by the service provider's details...eg 1234567890@telus.net
Details for the exact addresses each provider use, can be found on the net.
In England there were free providers a few years ago, but I believe now you have to pay for the service.

Folks: Being fairly geezerly, I know almost nothing about this, so be gentle. Assuming someone entered information in a form on a website. Normally, you would email the responses to someone. But what if you wanted to send this information to a smartphone via text messaging? Is this possible, given normal programming tools (PHP/Javascript), or would you have to go through some commercial web to text messaging gateway? Does anyone know if this could be done, and how? Paul
