send a text message via .net

Question

All: Are there any free solutions out there for sending text messages (SMS) via .net? (maybe a web service or something?).

EDIT

What I'm really looking for is a reference for a reputable online service that I can use for sending SMS messages. Has anyone out there used such a service, and if so, can you give me a recommendation/warning?

EDIT

(first the disclaimer: I'm not in any way associated with this company, I'm just posting back what I found, in case anyone else out there is looking)

An update: I ended up going with www.clickatel.com My work was for a technology exploration and demo project,and I could buy credits on that system cheap. In my case, I started out using their REST API. I had problems with that api (sometimes the commands would timeout). So I switched to the web service API (SOAP) It worked very well for me.

Most accept email but it is vendor specific.
