The idea is not mine, think it was when chatting with a fellow and regular VarAC user (not sure if was Jim) or John). Sometimes cel service or signal is degraded but a SMS could get out. Also in terms of INTEROPERABILITY, having a way to inter-connect with mobile could be helpful.
Just as an example, JT Alert provides for user defined alerts and though a bat file which activate a simple powershell script (Windows) an alert is send using SMS (my case T-Mobile when a callsign I am interest is decoded). EMCOMM > a one way SMS capability could be valuable in an emergency. Particularly when Cel Phones networks are diminished or crowded (Hurricanes, Earthquakes, etc).
So in summary I am suggesting capability to send SMS messages.

To send an SMS you need to integrate with an SMS service.
Those things has costs so people would need to integrate it to other stuff that does this.
not a path I want to walk honestly.
