I saw someone selling a script that texted Real Life cell phones from Second Life and I was curious if anyone could share how that works because I find it very interesting. I am not that good with scripting and that seems like a really cool idea and maybe I can learn from it. However, since it deals with things outside of Second Life, I have no clue how to do that. Thank you

It probably uses llHTTPRequest to communicate with a web server of some sort, which in turn texts the real-world phone.

Yeah I figured that much. I saw a script in the library that uses HTTP to update your twitter status through an application. I was just wondering if anyone knew a web server or 'sms gateway' that is available to be used as such since they are apparently out there. I have been looking myself, but I am unable to find one at least to my knowledge.

I think it's pretty common for them to have email<->sms gateways,

Hmm I see that. Thank you! After doing some more research I managed to find quite a bit of HTTP sms gateways that I can use. However you need to pay for like each text message that is sent so I might go the route with the emails.
