I've got email notifications working on our ZM 1.20.1 system. It would be nice to have SMS (short messages) working as well. I have no idea what an SMS address looks like. We have Sprint PCS phones, if that matters. -- Bill Dudley

The sms should be your phone number and a mail server for your carrier.
For example I have a nextel phone so mine is (number changed of corse)
7035551234@messaging.nextel.com
You should be able to find the messaging server through your carriers website.
it looks like it should be "messaging.sprintpcs.com" but you may want to contact sprint to be sure. You could also try sending your self a message.
Warning Will Robenson, Some carriers charge extra for messages or have an included amount of messages that you can recieve befor they start charging. Check what plan you have before setting this up on ZM would be a really good idea.

You can also use a third party that does email to sms conversion. I've used one that does email to mms so you can attach images etc which show up on the phone.

Phil might know of one that may integrate easier than others.

I have used http://www.redcoal.com, as they do MMS messages (with picture attachments) as well as SMS but I expect you can find others cheaper.
