or you can send via email.  If you are only concerned about sending outgoing
messages without replies and interaction you can send via email.  eg, for
t-mobile send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Of course you still need a
server+middle ware to handle the sending.  Without a server you could use a
mailto link to use the users email client.

 Ahem. There are a lot of providers out there... But it would be a good idea
 to get a base on bridging the gap between http and sms with a quick wiki
 primer. I've worked on a few projects where providers (for a fee) were
 willing to allow the use of their gateway – they will provide you with an

 your setup – you may actually be making them money (on return texts). Have a

   Thanks everyone. As Douglas mentioned, I actually do not need
   or expect any reply. Douglas what did you mean by server+middle
   ware. Can you send me some link where I can learn a little more
   about it. Thanks in advance

Flex can't as of yet send email.  You need some server and code there to
handle this.  Thus server+middleware, middleware being Java, PHP, PHP,
etc..  You can set this up pretty easy with a single page that accepts a
form POST and have Flex use HTTPService.

http://www.php-scripts.com/php_diary/122899.php3
is some example PHP code.  CF would be just as easy.
