从网站向手机发送“提醒/通知”

Question

I was wondering if there was a way for a website to send an alert/notification to a cell phone (smart phone, android, iphone... stuff like that) where the notification will ask the user a question and they have to answer the question and the response is sent back to the website and their answer is logged in the database.

I would also like to know if this notification could have checkboxes? I am needing this for a project and would like to know if there is anything out there like this.

If you need more description, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Short of building an application for each specific phone to handle this alert, not really.

What I would do if I were you... allow users to subscribe to these alerts. When you send them, send them a link to a mobile web page. Now, keep in mind that most people don't have a data plan, or even know what to do with it. It would be best to allow replies over SMS as well. Without more details about what you are doing, it is hard to give a better answer.

Google around for an SMS Gateway. There are nearly infinite options with various pricing... so you will need to find the one best for you. Alternatively, you can send messages to the SMTP address. For example, [e-mail] will send a text message to a Verizon customer with the number of 0123456789. SMS is more reliable though.
