Thank you all for your comments -
once again this group IS the font of all knowledge
!!!
To summarize:
My requirement is to get a text
message as
a result of a HomeSeer event - the easiest way
to do this seems to be to fire off an email which some external provider
will
then forward it to my mobile as a text message (sorry I explained this
badly
before)
U-Boot.com - Seems to be a free service. I have started the
registration process, but am still waiting for the 'security code' to
be sent (50mins. So far).Verdict:
I'll
tell you when I get their message
!!
Vizzavi.co.uk/Orange.net - Free service from Vodafone/Orange,
text messages from the web are received instantly, although I can find no
way
of sending the whole sms message as a single line
>from
-weight:
normal'>Verdict:
great service, although not exactly what I need - explained this badly in
the original mail. The received text message contains a bit of advertising
which is a pain.
Iobox.com - Email to SMS message costs 19p a message. Couple of test
mail I have sent confirms it is almost instant.
Verdict: You get what you pay for.
Love
it
Sms-wap.com - looks great if you are a business user, as a private
individual the cost is $0.15 per message Verdict:
Didn't
test
Lycos.co.uk -
provides 10 free text messages, if you want additional services
you
pay by the way of 'credits' - you dial a premium rate number
£1.50 a minute and after 2.5 minutes of waiting you have 75 credits. Verdict: instant delivery, but can't see a way to
interface with HomeSeer.
