[AccessD] Outlook To Text Message (slightly OT)

Andy,

I do something similar at work using my SPRINT phone number.  The text 
messages and emails are sent using an email address format...I had to hunt 
through my phone providers helpdesk to get the format...but I use:

3362535270 at messaging.sprintpcs.com to send short text messages directly to 
my phone...and...

markamatte at sprintpcs.com to send (longer) emails to a sprint email account 
that pages my phone.

Both Can be generated the same way as any email ...the automated system uses 
them as an email address and doesn't have to do anything special to know 
it's a phone.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
