Hi, James, We're about to try the same thing at my university. We're going to create a portlet (using ColdFusion) in our university portal where anyone at the university who wants to get emergency text messages can provide us with their cell phone number and the name of their cell service provider. Most cell phone services allow you to send a text message to a phone via an e-mail address comprised of the user's phone number and the cell service's domain name, so it's simply a matter of sending them e-mail using <cfmail>. You can find a list of addresses at the following web pages:
