Hi Andy, It would require changes to the code. It's on my list to look at adapting the Messaging Service building block to work with Janet, but I'm afraid it's quite far down the list at the moment. I'm not sure how big a job it would be - it seems like Janet is using SOAP, so it's probably more than just a quick tweak. In the meantime, if anyone else would find my source code useful for getting a Janet SMS building block up and running, just get in touch and I'll send you a copy.
