I've searched and searched, read and read, and not found anything about this, so I'm posting...
Is there a way or a mod to enable sending of SMS text messages to someone who has subscribed to a forum or topic? A lot of people use texting more than email and this would be a good feature to have.
Thanks...

No mod that I am ware of, and it would not be something that was generic.
You need either a service , or to set up your own infrastructure (GSM modem, etc.). Best go with an SMS Aggregator, such as Clickatel. The technical term for this kind of service is "SMS Gateway".
Whichever gateway you choose, you need to find out what their API is and use it to send SMS. |

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll kill that idea.
BTW, this may be silly, but why can't I subscribe to any forum? It appears that some can and some cannot. |
