You would also have a basic (free) option of sending SMS message via the
email gateways provided by some of the cellular carriers. You're

probably

looking for more function than that, though...

We've used this option for MSGW notifications to the smartphone that goes
with our on-call person-du-semaine. We just send an email to
<phone-number>@<carrier domain>, works like a charm. I don't think we
could receive SMS messages this way, but I'm pretty sure there are
SMS->email gateway services available too.

Another interesting twist on this concept is to use an internal IM server.
I've read about companies setting up an internal Jabber server, and
writing plugins to fire certain functions based on messages sent to a
special account.

Hope this helps,
Adam
