Interesting. I'm actually working on a project that requires sms text
messaging. To actually send a message to a SMS capable phone you will need
to email a SMS gateway that will route the message to the correct carrier.
Here in the States we can email the phone directly with the phone number
just like the pager companies but it's very hard to discern which carrier
the phone number is with.
There are a bunch of SMS gateways out there but they're not a free service.
I'm actually looking for a way around it so if anybody has any suggestions
on how to do so, please let me know.

I'm pretty familiar with some (or enough) of the perl mail modules to send
email whereever and however I need to.
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.
Regards.
