Is there a script like this available? (text messaging)

    I'm looking for a script that works kind of like a newsletter software (similar to aweber or constant contact), but for text messaging. Only with a bit of a twist.

    I want members of the site to be able to sign up and pick different options that they like. And then they'll only be sent a text when one goes out according to those options.

    Example:

    USER A
    _option 1
    X option 2
    _option 3
    _option 4
    X option 5

    When a text is sent out about OPTION 1, every user who's selected that in their profile would get the text message. User A wouldn't get the text because he/she didn't select that option. As soon as a text about Option 5 and/or Option 2 goes out, User A would get the text message.

    Hope that makes sense. Anyone know if a script like this is available?

    You can actually make one yourself pretty easilly.

    As long as you know php and are able to use the mail function, you can send text-messages.

    You only need to replace the email value by (phoneNumber@distributor.com)

    example :

    The rest you can work out with a well-structured database.

    It's pretty easy, you'll see ;)
