Easy.

Go to Admin control panel, go to Page Builder--Home Page --then drag the Shout Box to the middle on the very top or wherever you want the text to be displayed.

You need to receive the SMS message, decode which member it is for, store the message in a table with member ID.  Code a block to check for new messages and display them in a block on the member's account or profile page or wherever; only viewable by the member.

Look around the internet.  I did see this: http://smsenabler.com/

Yes, it is possible but I have no idea how difficult to implement.

ok maybe im not describing this right,, here is exactly what i want to use it for. I dont a radio show on one of my sites, i want listeners to be able to text opinions and things like game scores to the site from their phones and have them appear in a box on the index page so everyone listening to the show can see them as they come in.. like a live text feed

why don't you use a twitter account for that and use api to get the feed on your homepage.(shown in block)
with the api you can filter out what you don't want and what you do want to show.

then you have also your followers in the picture...

Sending text messages from a phone is SMS, so yes, geek_girl is correct. You would need something to recieve and process those messages. And as far as i know, there are no free SMS options.

Or you can use solusoft suggestion and have people send them to a twitter feed which can be pulled and processed by the site.

And for my suggestion you could also have them send them to a email address which the site can pull and process.
