Eduard,
 When operating through email how is the performance -- is there much of a lag
between send and receive?

We''re using email to SMS gateway as opposed to signing up with one of
the SMS Gateway providers.  The downside of email to SMS path is that
you''re basically limited to North America only, but it''s free.
With SMS Gateway provider you can reach anyone who has a cell phone but it can
get rather expensive.

 You can find more information about SMS development (including how to choose
SMS gateway provider) here: http://www.developershome.com/sms/

 Sorry I couldn''t be more helpful.

 Good luck with your project.

piece if
you wouldn''t mind sharing.  I''m researching SMS options now
for a
project and would love any information I could get.  It seems that
there are a number of gateway options, all of varying cost and
quality, so any reccommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Your
service looks very promising by the way.

Cheers,
Mark
