I dont know any service compatible with that particular script, but I see 
BT's genie service is now advertising free SMS, so it should be possible to 
get a pre-pay phone connected up to your PC and send free SMS using one of 
the many SMS applications available. I seem to remember that one I looked at 
was quite happy to pull messages out of a pop3 mailbox and forward them 
through your phone. It would be nice though if someone could come up with a 
Python module to send 8bit SMS messages.
