I know the BS2 can call me but is there anyway for it to text me on my cell?

    All you need to do is write a program and add peripherals. The BS2 can't do it alone.

    What kind of peripherals? If there perhaps an article or product I read more on to understand on how to go about this?

    The details vary from carrier to carrier and use e-mail.
    1) Write your message

2) In the "to" field type in the 10 digit cell phone number where it says phonenumber for the appropriate cell phone provider.

If you don’t know who their cell phone provider is, send it to all of them and see which one gets through.

AT&T: phonenumber@txt.att.net
T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com


    Have a look at the PINK manual to see how to send e-mail from a Stamp (www.parallax.com/StoreSearchResults/tabid/768/txtSearch/pink/List/0/SortField/4/ProductID/40/Default.aspx).
