HELP: Getting SMS’s sent to your email, or into a database

Regular reader Keith knocked me over this question:

Quick question … do you know how I would be able to have SMS text messages sent to me go directly to email or better yet to a MYSQL database so I can start a database of SMS phone numbers?

Well, this is eminently easy. What say, you, readers?

  1. I’d say, go to iTagg.com and get a keyword. Forward all requests to a URL, and do a simple database insert. Job done!

  2. Have a look at http://www.zong.com. They do alot of these services out of the box, publishing SMS as an RSS feed and if there isn’t something to suit then you can intergrate directly with their API. You revenuew share on their shortcode buy hey, everything has a price.
