If you're wanting to send to a particular number (e.g. your own) many carriers at one point would have an email to SMS gateway so that if you email something like `2125551234@smsgw.cellprovider.com` it'll forward the body of the message (or maybe the subject and first n chars of the body, or . . .) to that phone number as a text. Then you'd just need an email module (say Email::Sender) and the correct addresses (which could be more tricky if you're dealing with (say) people on multiple carriers who may have different gateway addresses). The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply] [d/l]

>SMS gateway AFAIC, this is how a lot of Perl apps send text message alerts. If OP wants to pony up, a service like https://www.twilio.com/sms or https://www.linphone.org/ might be part of the solution.	[reply]

necroreply, but just saw this run past the CPAN nodelet, SMS::Send::VoIP::MS.	[reply]
