 how do you do it?  

My local setup is like this: 
I send an email to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - that is routed to my
telephone server which uses sms_client to dial Swisscoms SMSC and send 
the message.  http://www.smsclient.org/

I have thought of using a more elegant solution (a provider with an
internet interface for instance), but we use SMS as an alert mechanism,
and the telephone interface is the most reliable.

If you want to do ANY kind of volume or have ANY kind of certainty
that somebody at least tried to deliver the message, then pay an
aggregator.

If you're setting it up to let grandma send you a text, use teleflip.

Thanks,

We are basically just looking to prototype something with about 50 users for
now so I'll check these out.

Thanks again!

I use a paid service, called bulksms, they have a php class you can use 
to integrate with your app or you can you their api, very easy as well.
