Re: SMS Text Messaging

["Steve Landess" <steve_landess@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff -

Many US-based mobile providers allow you to receive short text-based
messages by sending an email to a specially formatted email address.  For
example, to send a text message to my AT&T mobile telephone, you would send
it to nnnnnnnnnn@mobile.att.net , where nnnnnnnnnn is my 10-digit telephone
number (area code followed by 7-digit number).
