I agree > that would suck. That's pretty much the situation we have. People using real GSMs can send SMSes to anyone, but any computer using an SMS gateway (for which they still pay money for each and every SMS sent) can only send them to others on the same network. This makes it pretty much impossible for anyone to send an automated SMS to a person who is on other carriers (e.g., you want to have an SMS notification every time you get an e-mail message from a particular set of addresses, or with a particular keyword in the subject), unless you have three separate SMS gateway servers. What I don't understand is why -- you still pay the same amount of money, why can't you send automated SMSes to anyone you want? -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
