Text-A-Buoy
Send and receive SMS messages from GoMOOS and NOAA buoys!
How does it work? 
Using your SMS enabled phone, choose 'send a text message' option. Choose the 'send to email' option (may differ depending on phone type), and enter the email address of the buoy you are interested in getting an update from (addresses in table below). Choose 'send' and you are done.
In the next few minutes you will receive a text message with the latest conditions from the buoy that you sent a message to.
Helpful hint: enter the email addresses of frequently used buoys into your phone's address book for quick access.
Helpful hint: This also by regular email using one of the links or addresses below. Test it out now!
Requirements: Text messaging-enabled mobile device with a text messaging plan. Text-A-Buoy service is provided for free by GoMOOS, but charges from your carrier for sending and receiving text messages may apply.

Note: if you know the NDBC id of a GoMOOS buoy, you can use that in the email address as well, just as for regular NOAA buoys. You can find the ids for GoMOOS buoys here.
