The message below came through this list a couple of months ago. I had occasion to check out some of the texting methods described here. Unfortunately, they didn't work. I sent a text message to myself using my cell phone plus carrier as described. I eventually got a delivery failure notice in my e-mail and no text message on my phone. I checked out the links at teleflip.com which the post said could be used if you don't know a carrier. The company has ceased operation so that method doesn't work either. This is really too bad since the idea seems good.
