Do any of these include the text of bracha and night in the alert?

Don't know, but if you have a smartphone, there are applications that auto send txt/email, so you write what you want.

Good point. Just wondering if one of these services has that included. I'd rather not manually input 7 weeks worth :)

For phones that have a desktop app, and allows typing txts on the pc, or some email service allow scheduling of emails, you could produce the info to be displayed on the txt using excel. Should save you quite some time.

There are now apps which do this for free with the daily text.
Chabad.org has one, the sefira app, omer counter, Simon Jacobson's one etc...

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I used http://www.hebcal.com/hebcal/ to download Sefira "Days of the Omer" as a custom calendar to my iPhone, then let the stock calendar app manage the alerts.

Had it set up from years ago, remembered about it when I got the alert last night  :)

The cool thing about this is you have full flexibility over alert time / settings since it's going through your calendar app.

Cool, you can probably use it in google calendar or any calendar app on your phone/computer.

Probably a good idea to set a reminder as you may not be in Shul. Myzmanim offers a free alert and they are prob most reliable, but SMS in general has its issues with many carriers. Setting multiple alerts is prob the best.
