If your client's service supports SMS (which almost all do), I would go that route. I use SMS for phone to phone communication, email alerts and ICQ messaging, and it works very well. It is light-weight, fast and cheap. Typically you send an SMS messages from phone to phone, however every service provider I have ever used has also supported sending SMS messages through email, which means all you have to do is use the cfmail tag and the service provider takes care of the rest.
SMS message are limited to between 140 and 160 characters depending on the network, so if you want to get fancy, you can pass your data through a "compression" script which translates things like "for" to "4", removes spaces, etc. Christian On Sunday, January 26, 2003, at 06:05 PM, Rick Faircloth wrote: > Hi, all. > > I've got a real estate client who wants to receive an automated > call to his cell phone when a visitor to his website fills out and > sends > a "Request For Info" form.
