Does anyone knows how to get the SMS notification to work ? Do you need your own SMS gateway ? What syntax to use for the phone number (overseas prefix...) ?

Thanks for your help,

You don't necessarily need your own SMS gateway for sending SMS notifications. Most cell phone service providers offer an SMS service directly to your phone. The address is usually set up much how an email address would be formatted. (5554445555@vtext.com would be an example SMS address if your cell phone provider was Verizon lets say). SMS addresses use the same syntax as an email address for the most part.

I just wanted to add that there is a web page out there somewhere that lists all of the domain names that are needed to send a text message for just about every carrier in every country in the world.  It's listed in google but I forget what I used to find it.
