Folks:

Being fairly geezerly, I know almost nothing about this, so be gentle.

Assuming someone entered information in a form on a website. Normally,
you would email the responses to someone. But what if you wanted to
send this information to a smartphone via text messaging?

Is this possible, given normal programming tools (PHP/Javascript), or
would you have to go through some commercial web to text messaging
gateway? Does anyone know if this could be done, and how?


You can send a text message via email:

    Verizon: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxx
    AT&T: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxx
    Sprint: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    T-Mobile: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxx
    Nextel: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Cingular: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Virgin Mobile: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxx
    Alltel: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    CellularOne: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Omnipoint: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Qwest: 10digitphonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxx



Me again ;) Is that for free? I just found this interesting site:
http://www.tech-faq.com/how-to-send-text-messages-free.html

Yes, you can send text messages for free this way.

I just tried it. I guess, it is only possible to use those E-Mails if you are a customer of that phone company, right? I tried it with my own provider (O2 germany), sending an email to phonenumber@xxxxxxxxxxx failed, I had to activate that serviceby sending +OPEN to 6245, but every email to sms costs money ... Are you sure it is possible to send sms to phones around the world to any provider? How do u distinguish between provider and country?

I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid stuff
