Re: Can I send a message from the iSeries to a cell phone?

Some cellular carriers provide an email-to-SMS gateway. That's what we used before we had a Blackberry for the on-call person. So, for example, you would send an email to 5555555555@xxxxxxxxxxxx Bell's servers would convert it to SMS format and send the text message to the cell phone.

Otherwise, I think you'd need a cellular device connected to i. There was some discussion of this on either this list or the RPG400-L list some time ago.
