The way SMS/text works with some cell systems would make it Super Rube 
Goldberg. Otherwise, I would be doing it already. It would provide a way 
to do non-blind call transfer with caller ID name/number displayed.

With my cell provider there is a web page for sending text messages. I 
looked at the html and then wrote a shell script that sends me text 
messages. Sending is free. Replies are not.

wget -o sendpage.log -O /dev/null \
