It depends greatly on the cellular provider. In the past I have used e-mail
to send to the provider in "<phone number>@provider.com" which means you can
use the SMTP client in .net. I have also done if via webpage if they
provide one so http://provider.com?<phone number>&<msg>. And if you happen
to have a FWT hooked to the PC you could do it via the serial port but this
would be a little more involved from a asp.net application. Then of couse
you could link into MSN's IM and have them send it but that can be problem
matic. I think there are also a couple websites out there if you have an
account that will allow you to send via them but I have not researched it.
