That's news to me. I just tested it and my connection for email to cell phone still works, using the "old" [EMAIL PROTECTED] address. Haven't heard from my provider that there'd be any changes. We've been using SMTP (or XMITIP) to send short messages from the mainframe to pagers or cell phones for years.

[Cross posted to IBMTCP-L and MVS-OE] For a couple of years now I've set our zPad up to be able to send text messages to my cell phone. I know that a number of companies do this so that if a production job blows up the job has an extra step that will notify support via a text message. Way cool. Today I was testing this out and could not get it to work. I contacted my wireless provider and they said they no longer support this. You can't even send a text message to your cell from their website like you used to be able to. Only mobile-to-mobile. Has anyone else encountered this with their provider? I'm currently using AT&T (started w/ AT&T, spun off to become Cingular, bought back under AT&T) but I'm thinking of switching to someone else.
