Man...I'm not sure at all how this would work, but it would be very nice if I could send text message to a user's phone should they sign up for that feature.
I have two levels of client el on my site. The higher end users/coaches would likely love to have updates text to them. I'm sure some of the regular users would too, but the coaches all use a great deal their text messaging.
Obviously, users who would want this would have to provide the carrier and their number, or at least that would have to be provided to make it happen.
Could be done if you have a list of cell numbers to a user. You could then do smtp to the cell phone to deliver a text message. Most carriers support
[email protected]. But this is a little tricky as most of carriers have a limit on the number of free text messages you can send per hour per ip.
Ok...so that's a start. I'm sure there is a way to turn the user's submission into a usable smtp address. So user would submit his number, carrier, and it would turn into
[email protected].
