Hey guys, so I am working for a client and he is wanting me to set up something that strips some info from a form and then sends it to a number via text, does anyone know how I can do this (send the text) or about technology that can?

I understand that UBER uses a service called Trilio to send SMS from their web app. Also, some carriers (like AT&T) have email-to-text gateways you can send an email message to. It's specific to each carrier, but if you know in advance the carrier of the phone you're sending to that might be an option also.
