I am looking for a way to send text data to a cell phone from an Arduino application. Can this be done? If so, how would I go about doing this.

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

this depends on the phone
you using cable to the phone?

No, I am not wire connected to the phone. The project entails sending data from a remote location to a cell phone. Some sort of texting application initiated from the remote location automatically!

This project interfaces directly to a Motorola cellphone to send and receive texts.

I think some people have also experimented with using GPRS, but I don't have access to GPRS, so I don't normally pay attention to that sort of project.

Many cell phones have email SMS gateways to which text emails can be sent. If your arduino is connected to the net and has email capabilitys, this might be a possibility.
