SMS'ing between networks

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Can you SMS between different cellular companies in Canada and the US? ie. Rogers AT&T SMS to a Cingular user and vice versa.

Or does it have to be by e-mail?

As far as I know you can only SMS users of other carriers via e-mail. The carriers' SMS centers are not linked to each other. There is work under way to change this situation. AT&T wireless is a proponent of inter-carrier SMS. There is an economic incentive for carriers to provide inter-carrier SMS - they'll earn revenue from SMS messages coming or going out of their own networks.
