This is a little class I banged together so I could have my app send me alerts on my cell phone. This could work for any provider but the only way to figure out what fields it wants is to go to the messaging page and search throught the source. Have fun with this, this class could be made really cool if it worked for all the major providers.

Cool Huh?
Example code doesn't execute. The example code doesn't execute -- there is no method
in the class.
The correct line should be:
Even cooler when it works. :)
True that... Sorry I tested it with a seperate module, pasted the code in from there.
Email acccess to SMS. You can also send a simple email to ##########@mobile.att.net for the same effect.
