Hi Stephen, thanks for sharing but do we use this code in an adapter? Or is it a routine?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I thought that it would be possible via the cell/mobile network of our organisations using a SMS Gateway. Please correct me if I am wrong: So basically our network provider would supply with a number that we would configure in the Ensemble production to use the SMS Gateway. The mobile number to send to would be  a property of a request object and the actual message content stored in another property of this class. The response from the target mobile number being stored in a response object?

Thanks

Is there a way to perform bi directional SMS alerts? In other words, receive a response from the target mobile/cell phone? 

Would appreciate how do we install a patch on Redhat Linux?
