How could I enable a site to receive SMS messages and post the contents to a blog of sorts (similar to LJ's text-message posting)? I understand how this would be done with email, but SMS is strange to me. I assume there's a program out there that listens in on the same protocol used by SMS, then does whatever with the data once it's received. My hackerish idea of rigging a cell phone up with an unlimited messaging plan then writing a Perl script to gank messages from it would probably work, but it won't scale up nicely :).

I'm open to purchasing a product to just drop onto my server, but I have no idea where to begin. If someone could point me in the right direction (tutorials to do it myself or a product to purchase) I'd appreciate it! Thanks.
