I'm pretty familiar with some (or enough) of the perl mail modules to send

I'm trying to understand how this relates to text messages on cell phones.
I've used email for sending text messages to pagers ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
but I don't know if the same applies for a cell phone text
messaging. Then I ran across SMS modules for perl and got the impression
that email protocol is not the way to send messages to cell phones.
What are my options for cell phones?
What are the trade-offs?
Is there a SMS primer I need first or is this simple enough that I can get
a basic text-only system done without an indepth knowledge of everything?
Unfortunately, I don't have a cell phone with SMS that I can test against,
but that's another problem. However, it would explain my complete
ignorance on the subject.
You can send SMS messages to a cellphone via email:

But I suppose there could be other ways that I don't know about.
