Also supports some other service called Snipia, (http://www.snipia.com/) which is a corporate twitter for business.

Been there done that, mine is reliable and controls the whole house, tv’s stereos, theater, sprinklers, etc…. Oh and it’s 10 years old.

Personally, I'd probably prefer using a pbx so I could call it, but that's just me; SMS works where calling doesn't.
