How To Send Email to Cell Phone - Send Text Message Free
SMS is a great way to get email messages on your phone. Most carriers have "SMS gateways" which take email messages from the Internet and deliver them to their customers' cell phones as SMS text messages.
SMS Gateways
The trick is that you
need to know what carrier the recipient's phone is on.
It's not enough to know their phone number.
That's why, the carrier determines what email address
of the receiving phone is going to be. For example,
Cingular phones' address are all "number@cingularme.com"
while Verizon phones are "number@vtext.com."
All you need to do is find your carrier in the list
below, and then use the pattern shown there to figure
out your email address. If you want to send email to
a friend's phone, just ask them which carrier he uses.
