You can get TAFs/METARs on a WAP phone using one of:
http://www.wapmx.com (Aviation Weather from the index)
http://wap.cupitt.com
(all on the phone)

There are others out there too.

Hi Paul,

Do you know of any services--preferably free--that will accept a cell
phone SMS message with ICAO IDs, and send an SMS message back with
METARs and TAFs?

I wrote one. But unfortunately a SMS message is too short, so it ends up
coming back as three messages.
