Check a balance via SMS

Hi:

I coded a WebMall in Perl that requires the user has a positive balance saved in the WebMall in order to shop. (it is a pre-paid e-wallet style operation).

Each users account is in a folder under the email address and the balance each registered user has in its account is saved in a flat file the following way:

user_01@someserver.com/Balance.txt

I dont have a clue of what is needed to have a simple low end cell phone with SMS capabilities to be able to check his balance in my server.

If you know of a practical, quick and cheap way to accomplish this, (prefer to lease already existing web based services than buying hardware) , I appreciate your input.
