Hi David;
 As explained in Dan's an Michael's post, you simply send mail to the phone. One thing
to be aware of, if you have digital service, as in AT&T's, it can take as long as 6
hours to get your text message. According to one of the AT&T reps, if you move from
a digital cell to an analog cell, (and who doesn't) the message can get delayed.

  Anyone have any experience sending text messages to a cell phone from ECS ? Is there
a particular brand or type of telephone that works well for this ? I am considering
the Clearnet Mike service.
