    Check a balance via SMS

    Hi:

    I coded a WebMall in Perl that requires the user has a positive balance saved in the WebMall in order to shop. (it is a pre-paid e-wallet style operation).

    Each users account is in a folder under the email address and the balance each registered user has in its account is saved in a flat file the following way:

    user_01@someser ver.com/Balance.txt

    I dont have a clue of what is needed to have a simple low end cell phone with SMS capabilities to be able to check his balance in my server.

    If you know of a practical, quick and cheap way to accomplish this, (prefer to lease already existing web based services than buying hardware) , I appreciate your input.
