Idea: Create an SMS Text Messaging webpage for team website

www.textsendr.com offers free SMS texting from their site.  They also have an option to create a widget.  You fill out the form with the recipients phone number and service provider and it generates a code snippet. I've modified a code snippet it generated for me.  My idea is to create a contact page on our local intranet server (Windows 7 Enterprise hosted-IIS) which is on the I-Suite server.  Those who want to share their phone information will get their own snippet and others in camp will be able to text them from any network computer or smart phone that can access the Internet team site.

<center>
<form action="http://www.textsendr.com/send.php" method="POST" target="_blank">
<input type=hidden name=refer value=widget>
<input type=hidden name=to value=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
<input type=hidden name=provider value=sprint>
<textarea name=message rows=3 cols=20></textarea><br>
Provide your name, role, contact information, and message.<br>
Recipient can't reply directly to your message.<br>
<input type=submit value="Send to George">
</form>
</center>

Update: After revisiting textsendr.com, I noticed all they do is wrap your text message into an email and send it via the companies text-to-email account.  Knowing this now, I'm going to create a different type of webpage that bypasses having to visit their site after every message.  I'll update this blog after creating the alternative code snippet.
