I've actually been working on this myself. I really need notifications for when scanners finish, when torrents finish, when my computer shuts down or restarts, and a few other things.
I've been thinking about working on a project for that for a while.
My system was going to be based off a simple email system - you can email a phone number that's on AT&T's network if you email [phonenumber]@txt.att.net
I was going to use that to send email notifications to my phone in the form of SMS messages.
The same goes for other carriers, it works on dozens of them. Only thing that changes is the URL.
Funnily enough, that same email method is also used by a large number of SMS bombers and SMS spamming websites, so you have to be careful because you might get flagged as spam.
