Default text message METARs on your mobile

I found that I can get METARs on my phone with Google's SMS text service, but I can't get TAF's. Anyone know a way to get TAF's as text messages?

Thanks

Default the best cell/pda wx

Hello,

I use http://www.fltplan.com/cell.htm

enter the 4 letter identifier and hit request.

Awesome...if it had TFRs, you could legally fly

Try it, you'll like it...and it's free

This is a script I wrote for personal use, but you are welcome to try it. It was meant to be very simple - it gives the METAR and TAF:

It is browser friendly; I have a LG Voyager phone.
Feedback greatly appreciated!
