ive only heard of SMS msgs being exchanged between phones. phoneless folks who want to send a msg to a phone can use AT&T's web page. but what about phoneful folks who want to send an SMS to a the phoneless but faxful?
there is a network of free fax servers out there.[STOP] it would be nifty
to have short ascii messages roll out of a friend's fax machine.[STOP] almost like a telex! [STOP]
wouldnt it?[PAUSE]

Doesn't the presence of a fax indicate the presence of a phone? |

This reminds me of a Dilbert cartoon where D is vying for technological superiority over a co-worker. One of the panels has a fax coming out of his belt. |

Most SMS providers supply e-mail gateways these days. (In the US, many people "send email from my cell phone" without realizing they're using SMS and a gateway.) |

There are lots of E-mail to FAX gateways, so there's your bakey. Better yet, just send them an e-mail; FAX machines are dumb. |

And yeah, who's got a FAX machine but no phone? |

I think this is great. My dad has a mobile phone but it's rarely on and he don't know how to SMS. (he has no computer/email) A fax he can handle! It would be nice to be able to send him 'hellos' now and then. |

FAX? You mean those clunky picturephone thingies they used to have in offices during the medieval era? |
