Re: Yahoo Groups: Welcome to blat. Visit today!

Hi,

I have been trying to SMS text messages to cell (mobile) phones with the
following syntax:

blat <text message> -s<subject> -to [email protected]
or
blat <text message> -s<subject> -to
[email protected]

The execution passes with no error messages however the message is not
received by the receiving cell phone.

My questions are:

(1) Does BLAT allow sending SMS to cell phones
(2) If yes, what is the wrong with the syntax I have used. What is the
correct syntax?

Thank you.

Ima.
