Say you're on the go, and you have a thread that you're following, and instead off starting up a computer every five minutes to check, you'd just receive a text message? Say you check a box, and then, if the thread gets any replies, Dakka texts you a link to the thread. I know, probably not possible, but it would be fun.

You can get an email when a thread is updated thanks to one of the settings in your profile. You'd have to set up a notifier in your email client for that to ping your phone in some way. Handling direct automated text messages is comparatively complex and expensive otherwise.
