Telstra and Vodafone have a mobile number that you can dial
which provides a terminal interface that you can send your
message via. The telco's make their money off the mobile
phone charge.
Vodafone will send to any mobile, Telstras only sends to
Telstra mobiles. Can't remember if the number below is
Telstra or Vodafone. Check it out by dialing the number
with minicom.
