No, there's no such built-in functionality. However, I believe this can be done via script with the help of third-party SMS providers.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yep. If you find a SMS provider with simply manageable API available in your region, you’ll be able to write necessary script responsible for SMS notification and specify it as a post-job activity.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Additionally, have you ever heard about Outlook Mobile Service and their “Mobile Notification” settings, which is responsible for forwarding incoming Outlook items as a text message (SMS)?

Below there is a link how you can easily configure it:

You can also set a specific word in VB&R notification options and let Outlook to forward only those emails that have it.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Like jleblanc said, I would just use the email to text address. I like using the site: www.emailtextmessages.com
