well, of course. didn't think of that. how was that with the forest and
the trees? :)
you can pack a lot of information into 160bytes - it doesn't have to be
human-readable - and SMS are almost realtime as long as the provider
doesn't have problems. and if you have an sms-email-gateway somewhere
that solves the problem where to send the data (since your phone is gone).
IMO sms should be the standard-method, because it should always work.
