Actually just to send a message as 'text' to a cell phone all you need to do is send it via cfmail and make it short (160 characters for most providers). This link will get you going real fast. Also, if you need to accept a reply message you can easily have a dedicated email address an use CF to check for replies on a cf scheduled basis and do 'something' with the replies. I'm actually writing code to do this now. http://www.sms411.net/2006/07/how-to-send-email-to-phone.html Cheers, Wil ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:306116 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
