phone ring twice and hangs up.


You can also send SMS messages from ICQ for free. If your plan charges
you for incoming SMS messages, you will have to pay your SP's fee.

If you have a Linux (or similar) system, you can find a program that
will send the messages for you without a phone via a command line. That
way you can do all sorts of interesting things, include an email to SMS
gateway, send you messages at specific times, follow an RSS feed and SMS
you messages, etc.
