I looked this weekend at United States Cellular website and it seems that if
you have their digital phone service,
you can pay $1.95 per month to have an email address for your cell phone
which ends up being
[your ten digit phone number]@email.uscc.net
Then unlimited email can be sent to your
Hi, Mahmut, and thanks for the reply.
I got through to clickatell.com, but couldn't get ipipi.com to come up,
so looks like their still having trouble.
Clickatell looks interesting. What benefit would their be for me to
use their com object and program my sites to interface with their com
Hi, Larry.
That does seem very simple *and* very cheap at $1.95 per month
for unlimited messages.
So, I guess all that would be required on the client end would be a
digital phone to handle the digital transmissions, right?
Is that www.uscellular.com?

Yes that is correct and yes, as I said in my first reply, you do have to be
a US Cellular client.
However, I am guessing that if it is this easy with US Cellular that it
probably is just about as easy with all Cell carriers.

Yup. Email comes free with my ATT acct, and cost me about what US Cellular
charges back when I was with Pacific Bell (now Cingular) about 2 years ago.

I can vouch for SprintPCS and Verizon. Both have given me email
addresses as part of my monthly plan. Sprint also has a web based form
for sending text-messages. It was fairly easy to use CFHTTP to submit to
that form and send text messages to myself from my site. I found that

Recently, in the past year IIRC, all the big cell companies agreed to allow SMS move
across different networks. So you can send SMS from say a Verizon phone to a Cingular
phone. Recently this agreement was extended into Canada and Mexico I think.
In my case, I can just use CFMAIL to send an
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,

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.
So, you are able to use CFHTTP (which I've never used...available for CF
4.5.2?)
to submit to a form on Verizon's website that was setup for sending text
messages
and have it submit and send a message to your phone?
Like using their form as a forwarding service?

Well, you can probably do that. CFHTTP is available on 4.5.2 and it can easily do
such a thing, subject to:
1. Their site doesn't check for an outside referrer. If it does, and it sees a post
from a 'foreign' web site, it may bounce you.
2. Doing this doesn't violate your phone contract or
your client is right and I should know as I am a realtor and own a real
estate company.
he just needs to simply have his phone internet ready and accept emails.
Doesn't get any simpler
I tell my agents this all the time yet they never believe me, lol

I have done this before using the phone's email address. Typically
something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]

you can also consider using an email to sms gateway or sms APIs.
http://www.clickatell.com - you can install their com object and directly
integrate it with your website.
http://www.ipipi.com - a great email to sms gateway, let's you setup
forwarders for each email address. Looks down since
