Re: SMS Gateway

[ITechGeek <itg () itechgeek com>]

I know a bunch of people who just use email -> sms gateways (although I
think all carriers have a disclaimer that messages aren't guaranteed).

Depending on your SMS costs, you could also outsource this to a service
such as Twilio.

As Alan said, RaspberryPi should be able to handle this for under $100
worth of equipment (including the Pi & Cell modem).
