AFAIK the limit on sms messages is 160 characters. How many messages do you
intend to span the scan results across? And can you get acceptable (readable)
formatting too? At least it will help if you can trim the output.

Around here sms messages are rather expensive too...


But anyways, can you make it so that the operator can use any phone to use it,
but having to use a password? (Or perhaps rather "activation" word as is used
for many sms services)


Also I want to point out the fact that sms is much like udp. Packets
(messages) can get lost either way. Especially during high-traffic hours. For
those who had the expiration time set high enough, got their messages through
after 3 days here around the new year celebrations. (the network was swamped)

What do you intend to do about this?
