Kay,
This company you pointed to (www.telemessage.com) looks like it might
have a decent solution. It's more expensive than Skype, but not too bad
at 10 cents per call. Their XML solution should work in Rev on a Mac
server. But I would like to get the Skype solution working if possible.
In my particular situation, I need to have my Rev application send a
phone call. It can't be SMS. My vendors handle all orders either in
person or by phone. The computer (if they have one!), is usually not
near the order desk. Their business is mostly done by phone (and not a
cell phone). What I am doing is working on a way to allow them to get
orders through the internet, but not have to change the way they
typically record these orders (which is still by pencil and paper).
Thanks.
Richard

And because Sarah, you're in Oz, you can use smsPup:

Which only leaves sending SMS from Rev, which again can be done with
AppleScript:

So back to Richard's original problem, if the 'client' isn't at his computer
then he probably isn't at his phone (which is next to the computer) either.
If he has a mobile phone then using AppleScript to SMS is probably a cheaper
option and provides the added benefit of a 'hard copy'. I can't imagine
anything worse than trying to scramble for pen and paper whilst receiving a
voice message saying, "We have recived your order for part No: AXZS-564332,
part No AXXD-02594023,...";-( Having an SMS that I can cross-check when I
get back to my computer seems like a nice alternative.
HTH
