Notifications by SMS

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

There are plenty of email-to-SMS providers out there.

www.textanywhere.net
www.aql.com

To name 2 that spring to mind (UK-based.)

They all use pretty much the same approach - send an e-mail to 
<your_sms_device_number>@<providers_domain>.tld, and it'll relay the 
first 160 characters (or whatever the network allows) of the e-mail to 
the mobile device number.

I've used both AQL and TextAnywhere, TA has a slightly quicker response 
time than AQL on sent messages, and they invoice us on a monthly basis 
rather than having to pre-pay (like AQL, where we often ran into the 
problem of running out of credit, then messages don't get relayed.)

I'm sure there are some free providers that may do this too, but the 
paid ones often implement better solutions (like TA has a HTTP and SOAP 
protocol so you can POST a HTTP request in the correct format to 
generate a text message rather than using e-mail.)

HTH,

Andy.
