I have an old Razr V3xx that I would like to connect to my arduino for sms message sending/receiving. What would be the easiest (non bluetooth) way of going about doing this? Thanks

Does the phone have a serial port ?
Otherwise i think it will be very difficult.
no. Just usb.
Or does any body know of a tracfone or net10 phone that has serial communication even inside it?
You could try a product like GM862 Evaluation Kit - Basic 50-Pin - KIT-00479 - SparkFun Electronics
Basically it's a gsm phone module that you communicate directly with from your controller. You just plug in the sim card from net10 or tracfone or any gsm carrier you want. Then the module acts as the phone with a nice easy interface to the controller. I believe it's a TTL serial interface and uses a hayes-style command set.

yeah i saw that. But it is just so much cheaper to go the cellphone route, 10 dollars vs 254. I wish they did make those cheaper.
ok i have found some awesome results and figured it should post them for others that are looking to do something similar.
i am going with the second choice since it is a 9 dollar phone at radioshack and i happen to work there XD
Also it looks to have a much simpler serial i/o.
you could also get the network card for arduino and use twitter to send sms from your network>internet>sms
