Idea for cool SM feature

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

   Here's something that comes up routinely:
* People I do business with all have cell phones.
* All the cell phones can receive text messages.
* The cell phone companies have magic email addresses that convert emails
  into text messages.  For example 1234567890@xxxxxxxxx sends a text to
  phone # 123-456-7890, but ONLY if that happens to be a Verizon #.
* So when I want to send a text to somebody, I go cruise the web looking for
  listings of cell phone companies.

  So I think it would be a nice plugin for SM to have a "text address"
button, where you type in a phone # and it magically pops the "texting"
email address into the To: field.

  The only thing I see that's hard about this is maintaining a database of
the cell phone exchanges.  Or possibly doing HTML scraping on the fly
when
somebody presses the button.  Of course, HTML scraping tends to break
whenever somebody updates their website.
