    Anyone have code or know how to create code that will allow me to have clients contact me via text message from our website? I am on Rogers in Canada and would like to allow clients to contact me directly via text messaging.

    If you mean to send a text message to your cell phone, most cell companies have an email address to send messages to your phone. For instance, Verizon is usually . It would be easy to create a script to e-mail it to you that way, but you have to also consider spammers abusing the script.

    You can easily use javascript to hide it from spam robots.

    I think he meant spammers abusing the send txt message form. He could put one of these 'enter what you see on this picture' things.

    and to NewComputer:
    you need to find out what's your txt email address is. As Gordaen said, it should be something like in, contact your provider and ask them. Then do a simple test by sending email to that addy. If you receive the txt fine, next step, you would need to make email form on your website (txt form) that would allow users to enter their data, and then would send all to your phone txt email. I could write the code for you, if you figure out the txt email address for your phone #.
