[TriEmbed] TriEmbed Digest, Vol 85, Issue 12

[Gregg Tracton]

Each cell phone provider (att, t-mobile...) has a free url for sending SMS
messages. I’ve been using these for years.  Some providers use a different
URL for small texts vs larger texts (even images), so pick the right url.

Messages are usually delivered in a few seconds, but there have been rare
delays of minutes to hours, presumably b/c cell towers fail, or the phone
is out of range.

Cheers!
