corbin Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You would have to have some kind of server that could send text messages and then get php to interact with it - so for the average person, unless theirs a public text messaging service - no.

kenrbnsn Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You want to be able to send SMS messages via PHP. I just did a Google search "sms php" and got many pages of answers. Check them out and pick the one that most suits your needs. Most of the gateways charge for the service.You can all send text messages to most phones via email. You just have to figure out the correct format. I know for VerizonWireless the format is numericphonenumber@vtext.comKen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz_64 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 if your in canada and your on telus's network the format is text only email and the address is 10DigitMobileNumber@msg.telus.comi use it all the time.. it's it's great for getting critical server errors or notifications quickly while your out and about, it's free for any telus phone and the message usually arives within 2 minutes.... so useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
