No. At this time, PTWC does not directly send its messages to mobile phones. Some emergency managers in Pacific, Asian, and African countries can receive PTWC messages via SMS on thier mobile phones through the RANET Project. Since PTWC messages are available to the general public via RSS feeds, one could get PTWC messages on a mobile phone using one of the many RSS-to-SMS services on the Internet (for example: Yahoo! Alerts, ZapTXT, Rasasa, FeedBeep). Another option is the USGS Earthquake Notification Service (ENS), which allows you to receive custom automated earthquake alerts via email or SMS.
