Default Website form to mobile phone text

A client of mine is hoping to receive a text alert on his mobile when someone sends him details via a form on his website.

I am guessing this is a server-side issue, but what is required from the web coding side of things to make this happen?

Try this tutorial here:

You'll need to do some research to find your clients email to their sms gateway.

Edit: Here's a couple of lists:

Thanks Frinkky.

I need the service to work in New Zealand - I'm sure our Telecom or Vodafone will have something available.

From what I can see from Google if your client is on Vodafone their sms email should be similar to 64xxxxxxxx@sms.vodafone.net.nz, not sure about Telecom New Zealand Ltd as couldn't find that info.

In any event, I think you can find the info under the sms settings on their mobile phone.

Thanks for your replies.

@Frinkky
Thanks for the tutorial lead.
After a bit of Googling, I came up with the same answers.
