Back around 1998 I built a Nokia phone and interface in Flash 4 that you could actually use to send me an SMS message using this exact technique behind the scenes. Unfortunately it was interesting and novel enough that it made German TV and while sat at my desk one morning my phone suddenly started buzzing constantly as a non-stop flood of messages in German started coming in. I had to turn the phone off and when I turned it back on after work it buzzed until it basically filled up and then never worked again. I had to buy a new phone and disable the message sending of the Flash site.
