Is there a way to add a script to my site that will allow someone to send a SMS message to me, but not be able to see the number, like the email thing here?
I have one of those prepaid Virgin wireless phones is that matters, and I can't seem to get the iChat thing to send a message

I've decided to use the same script I use for the contact data, but send it to the phone's email addy, pretty much the same thing. I suppose it's pretty secure, and thoughts?

That's ok if they're just sending to you.

If you ever want your site to send SMS to anyone though, you can't rely on email - not every network has an email to sms gatteway.
What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

I've been thinking about doing something with SMS. I've got do to a site for a mate who's not very techy, so doesnt use his e-mail much. I was thinking when someone fills in the enquiry form on his site, it could send an SMS via asp or php telling him to check his e-mail.

Is there any way of doing this?
