Hi! I know this comment is a bit late, but better late than never. I wanted to let everyone out there that here at http://www.RememberItNow.com we offer also offer text messaging services for medication reminders. Users can:

*Set up medication and event reminders sent via email or text message (reminders are not an extra charge), they are received under the user’s current text messaging plan.

*Create a private care community to enable care coordination, long-distance care giving, and more.

*Simplify health care with more health tools like a health journal, health statistics charts, website bookmarks, calendar sharing, medication reports and contact management.

We hope our service helps users take control of their health or the health care of someone they love.

The only MAJOR drawback with FTEU is that it is currently only supported by two major cellphone carriers in the US. Those two carriers being T-Mobile and AT&T. This presents a major hurdle for the innovative companies trying to spearhead the technology and adoption of text communications for the healthcare industry.

This is a very interesting play for mBox. Are they passing to cost to the provider? One of the reasons may be to fend off twitter company that utilize twitter for a free payload. This is more direct secure approach.
