Hi guys, I was approached by a client that wants a page made that will have local city information on it such as school closing, traffic problems, etc. He wants the site to email or send a text to cell phones of people signed up everytime there is a new message on the site or the removal of a message. Is there software or something out there that can simplify this? Im clueless on this so any info on how to accomplish this is much appreciated. Thank you Jim D.

The service you sign up for should provide you with a simple interface for sending the texts with sample scripts
