    What you probably wanna setup is a client/server app.
    You can use Winsock on your home computer to listen on a specific port, and when it receives a mobile number from that port it will send an sms to it.

    Then on your work computer have a program that sends the mobile number to your home computer.

    For this to work, you will have to have your home computer on a static IP.

    If it isn't on a static IP then you will need to make your home computer check its IP address every few minutes and if it has changed then it must post the new IP onto a webserver, so that your work computer can connect to that webserver and read the IP address from there, and then send the mobile number to that IP address

    You just need a simple function. Make the winsock control on your home server listen for connections on a certain port and when it receives data it must split it using something like Split(Data, "***") and then the first item in the array can be used as the cellphone number and the second item will be the message.

    The winsock control on your work computer will ask you for a cellphone number & message, and then it will seperate the two with "***" and then send this data to your home server.

    Yes you could make a PHP or ASP script that sends the cellphone number to your home server.
