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.
