  Before we would convert your cell phone information to an email format for you. You can still use the email to sms gateway. Check out this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways or talk to your mobile carrier to find out how to format the email address.

  Wait - I'm just catching up on stuff... There's now a charge for SMS?  Sigh... that was one of the features that drew me to this.  How, why, and when?

  Graham, we mentioned it in the 1.3 update announcement (which should've been posted here too):

  As mentioned there, we're only adding things, and the previous SMS method is still free to use. Many people have carriers which now don't support email-to-SMS, which we were using, or if they do support it, it's unreliable. Not good enough for us to get behind, so we rewrote it to work reliably with virtually any carrier and country, and that unfortunately costs us money per text.
