Hi, Douglas.
I see you're with Alltel. So am I. (Customer, however)
I found out I'm not signed up for Text Messaging, but when I contacted
an Alltel rep just now, he said there was not a way to send an email
message to a cellphone, except through the Alltel website, on the
Text Messaging page. However, I realize that if Alltel could do it through
their website, there must be a way for me to do it through mine, it's just
that
the customer rep wasn't familiar with it.
Can you tell me how to go about getting setup to be able to do what you do:
"In my case, I can just use CFMAIL to send an SMS via email."
Thanks,
Rick
