    Most providers have a way to send SMS via email

    For example the email address would be: <your phone#>@txt.<company>.com

    Someone posted a list in the past, im sure it is available online as well. Try looking it up on your provider's homepage or tech support....

    but also, don't assume this will work. To prevent spam, some carriers allow customers to block texts sent this way. I have my T-Mobile phone number blocked and aliased to an alphanumeric name. My employer set up an emergency notification system which assumed that this system would work for the seven or so most common carriers. I had to inform them that there needed to be another approach as some folks' mobiles had e-mail addresses but not the standard ones.
