What services allow people to send information to our organization via text message? I'm trying to implement a system where attendees at our events can text their email addresses to us (e.g. "text your you@domain to ###### to sign up for our list"). I've Googled around but I can't find the right search terms to find what I want. Can anybody help?

Answer:
The magic term is SMS Short Codes. Googling that gives you tons of companies that want to sell you this service.

"SMS Short Codes" was indeed what I wanted. Thanks! It looks like there are three options: 1. Use Google Voice. It's free, but requires a ten digit number. 2. Lease an SMS short code. The minimum cost seems to be around $500/month. 3. Use a shared SMS short code with service like TextingForward, TextMarks, or Twilio. These seem to cost circa $75/month and up. Am I missing anything?
