Forum or Message Board with SMS notifications

I have a committee that would like to collaborate on projects and assignments, but do not want to be required to have a google or Facebook account. We also would like to use SMS, or a phone app that would provide push notifications when other members make comments, or post new info that requires attention.

Are there any no-cost, low cost solutions available that meet the specs listed?

For the SMS piece you can do a number of email to text as long as the user signs up that way. (EG: yournumber@mms.att.net)

So as long as the system does email notifications you could do the SMS that way.

I actually tried that via a google group and it did not provide an opportunity for the user to accept the invite to the group. I then sent a test invite to an email address and it worked, so not sure how to get around that.

I found the invite portion of the sms message exceeded the character limit, so was not displayed

I am currently testing a Wordpress forum plugin, but will pursue this solution if it does not meet our needs.
