texting content to a website

A client has requested that we let their members text in comments and video clips, is this possible and what would be the considerations? Would we need to pay to receive the texts?

Also other conciderations depending on what country you are from in england the body ofcom have strict guidlines of premium text rate numbers which you must follow. I would imagine there are similar rules n other countries.

Some blogging sites such as Blogger allow you to post text and images (up to 10MB) by sending a text or e-mail to an address you set up in your Blogger settings (yoursite.yourchoice@blogger.com). Blogger calls the service Mail2Blogger, and as far as I know, it's free. The subject line ends up being the title of the post.
