Yeah, this isn't really a major Twilio win or a hack - it's a basic scraping technique. I found a house for myself and a friend in a similar way, reverse engineer mobile app from MLS, scrape all listings once a day to get new stuff as it hits the market and you can now be far more selective than the crappy search on the MLS site allows.

Yeah you can sends texts to your phone just like sending an email.

    Put the phone number in front of a domain for each carrier, a list is here. https://github.com/WilliamFCipriano/FreeSMS/blob/master/data/gateways.list https://github.com/WilliamFCipriano/FreeSMS/blob/master/data...

      Thanks, this hack (if it's a hack) looks interesting.

        It works, but know that it is nowhere as reliable as an SMS sent through a carrier's gateway.

      There are several international lists too, here's a couple: https://martinfitzpatrick.name/list-of-email-to-sms-gateways/ https://martinfitzpatrick.name/list-of-email-to-sms-gateways... https://www.opentextingonline.com/emailtotext.aspx https://www.opentextingonline.com/emailtotext.aspx

        Do they work? For Portugal it still lists Telecel - which hasn't existed since '99.

        My list is accurate as of a year or so ago, or at least they don't bounce back when you send an email to them.

    I am using Telegram for such notifications. I made a simple Telegram bot, it does not do anything itself, I just use it as a sender of my messages to my phone. And I have a particular web address, which collects requests from any of my scripts and it just resends it (it is a simple python script) through the bot to me.
