How to get NFL draft day text message updates.

April 27, 2006 1:29 PM

Help me get text message alert updates for the NFL draft this weekend.

This weekend, my carefully constructed indie rock elitism will come head to head with my obsessive NFL football fanaticism. I will be in the middle of the California desert for Coachella while the NFL draft occurs this weekend. I would like to receive pick-by-pick updates on my cell phone via text message while I am rocking out on the polo fields on Saturday and Sunday. Are there any services that will do this for me?

Some details: I am on Cingular (formerly AT&T Wireless) (so the official NFL/Sprint service won't work for me) with a Nokia 3650. I would like to recieve a text for every pick and newsworthy development (trades, etc). I would prefer to have the text sent to my phone rather than use my crummy mobile internet service to check an email box.

(Just thinking out loud....)Is there any way to combine an rss feed with one of the text messaging services online?

just thinking outloud here but I hope you have a discount o plan for text messages...that could be a lot of messages and a lot of expense.

You can apparently get it via ESPN insider, with some expense.
