KISMIF.org – Awesome Cub Scouting

Email lists (e.g., Yahoo Groups) are a great tool for keeping members of your pack informed about upcoming events and activities.

There is also a way you can make sure that your pack announcements go to those families who don’t have email but are set up to receive text messages (SMS messages) via their mobile phone.

Most wireless carriers have an SMS gateway which can be used to send a text message via email. For example, an AT&T wireless customer with the cell number of 555-555-5555 can receive emails to 5555555555@txt.att.net as text messages.

More carrier SMS gateway addresses are listed at the eHow link below.
