This further allows you and your memebers to take your site anywhere you go!

Important Notes:
-It is urged for webmasters never to include $bbuserinfo[cellnum] in any templates or any part of their site as it will leak the cell phone number of the logged in user to the person viewing the page thus releasing very private information.
-It may take several minutes for a text message to arrive at a cell phone and the speed depends on your server and the cell phone provider, so please be patient.
-Due to the merging of Cingular Wireless and AT&T Wireless I am not sure as of the moment where their online text messaging will go but I will of course keep all people updated.
-Spamming or high volume text messaging of people's inboxes is prohibited and may be punishble by law if committed.

That's cool. Is it possible to include the message as well? At least up to the 160 character limit?

I've installed and it works great!
