SMS-Framework as a school alert system
I believe a great use for this module module would be a SMS alert system for a school or hospital. I run a few dozen drupal school and church websites and I would love to have a SMS application that would send out a SMS message to alert website subscribers to a school closing or a school lockdown.
Has this been done? Or can someone point me to where I need to go? Or does someone have the ability to do this and want to make some xtra $?

SMS Blast
The SMS Blast functionality that comes with the SMS framework would do this.
You could also fine-tune this using Views Bulk Operations.

Re: SMS-Framework as a school alert system
How do you generate the "school closing or a school lockdown" event in the first place?
I think you can have a node type (maybe CCK) to represent the above event.
You can use Action and Trigger modules to automatically send SMS Blast whenever a school_lockdown node is created.
