Notices should be forwarded to mobile phones. SMS is hard, so we can take the cheap-and-dirty way, just forwarding stuff using email addresses. See:

-http://www.notepage.net/smtp.htm

So, we need:

* storage in the DB for services, including the format for converting phone number to an email address
* storage for phone numbers related to a user
* a settings page for setting your phone number
* a confirmation process for sending a message to a phone, and letting a user confirm it
* a hook for forwarding notices to SMS when new notices come in
* (Scaling) just save notices to the DB, and forward them with an offline daemon

->Ultimately, what we really need is real SMS, since many can receive SMS but not email (or "email-as-SMS") on their phones. Fake SMS is totally useless for most people in Europe, for instance. I understand "SMS is hard" - I just want to point out that SMS-via-email is not a '''real''' substitute. [[~Marjolein Katsma]]
