Sending Alerts or Notifications to SMS texts

Some of our users would like alerts or notification messages sent via text message in addition to or instead of emails.
This wasn't really an issue when cell carriers were supporting email to text, but at least some already have or are in the process of doing away with that option.
Checking in-house there doesn't seem to be a corporate solution or standard, just a few tailored workarounds.

Has anyone else run into this or come up with a good alternate for delivering notifications out of Canary via SMS?

Are there any plans to incorporate SMS as an alternate/additional notification path from Canary natively?

Thanks,
