Is there any code that I can cut/paste that will allow me to receive<br>
an SMS text on Asterisk?<br>
and, where can I capture the incoming text?<br>

it's a pretty popular smart phone OS. Hmmm, wonder if the google Android can handle this?<br><br>Anyway, another non-hardware solution might be to use an internet SMS gateway (for 10 cents/msg in low volume),<br>to send/receive SMS also...<br>
