Hi, Mahmut, and thanks for the reply.

I got through to clickatell.com, but couldn't get ipipi.com to come up,
so looks like their still having trouble.

Clickatell looks interesting.  What benefit would their be for me to
use their com object and program my sites to interface with their com object
instead of just having my client setup their SMS or email service
with their cell provider and just send an email notice via their provider?

Does it replace the service that my client's cell provider would normally
provide
and allow me a way to send messages directly to my client's phone?

It looks like the com object is free, but the client still pays clickatell
the same
amount per call...

Just trying to understand how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together...

Thanks for your help...

Rick
