Thanks for those, neither seem to offer an email to SMS gateway (although both offer SMS to email).

Try www.M-science.com I use their software to forward e-mail via sms using Outlook rules as their product works with Outlook.

I'll stand to be corrected, but phone companies try and make money out of SMS, so I doubt if you'll find a free service.

The only one I've found have cost (sometimes cheap £5 for 100) for texts

A decent pay and go would be good too if anyone knows of one ?

My current 'client' has an email to SMS gateway, but I think I would be a little unpopular if I disclosed it!

OK, I'll stand corrected

I guess they assume you will end up paying as part of your whole package for the phone + connectivity...

When they send a message it costs £1 per text, and it took a few to set it up. I dindt read this and am quite anoyed that it did cost, then again, i dindt read the small print
