As an iPod touch user I often forget about this little quirk. On most phones you can send SMS to an e-mail address. As for the iPhone, one option would be to set-up an alternate e-mail address on your computer to sync with Mail. Then when you send mail to that e-mail address from your iPhone, you could apply the rest of the tutorial around that alternate address. The second account is necessary incase your iPhone grabs the locking e-mail before your computer does. Good Luck! @Geoff

In the "TO:" field the SMS app will not let you type "@" or "." so therefore I don not see how you can send to an email address. You also cannot paste the email address in 3.0, as soon as you move from the "TO" field to the "message" field it changes you address from joe@me.com to joemecom and does not send properly.

I guess if you don't have the applescript installed it won't work, but if you do have it installed on all your macs, then I guess you could in theory lock all you macs with one email.
