Do you know that every cell phone has an email address associated with it and one can send an email to the mobile phone and it will be delivered as a text message (SMS). This is very helpful to interface the Internet mailing system with the wireless network and usually corporate alert system uses this mode (Example, bill alerts from the bank). One can also use this email address to send text message from the computer to cell phone or vice versa. It may be really helpful if you are sending a text message to an international phone as it just serves as a free SMS.
Note: Incoming messages may be charged based on the service provider.
So how to find the mobile phone’s email address?
The cell phone’s email address is the 10 digit phone number @ the domain from your service provider. For example, for ATT or Cingular it is number@cingularme.com or number@mobile.mycingular.com . Also now it works with number@txt.att.net for SMS and number@mms.att.net for MMS. So you need to know the providers domain address to send emails to the mobile phone.
Reverse way to find what’s your mobile’s email address
Compose a text message from your mobile and send it to your email address. From the email you received you can find your cell phone’s email address. (In case you are finding it difficult to enter the email address in the text compose box, save your email address in the phone book and then insert it while you compose)
When you send the SMS from your computer, the first 160 characters will be delivered and the subject of the email is also counted towards this.
If you are not able to find the provider’s domain then you can try using service like Teleflip (But it does not have the world coverage as of now)
Here is a list of domain for popular service providers in US

Do you know about spice karnataka mobile mail id. From one week, I am looking for the same thing. my spice site is not working. Customer care person told me that it will be charged Rs.25/month. If you know, please tell me that. My no. starts from 9844. I am currently working on using yahoo alerts to send orkut scraps and emails directly into mobile. If you succeed in any way, please tell me.
US Cellular has a web page to send a text message to a phone but you need to put in your phone number if you want a response you can’t put in an email.
Lets think in some other way, what if you will be charged for incoming sms this way and your mobile mail id gets leaked to spammers. Can you think of any free solution other than contacting our service provider.

Why do text messages received from email messages (email to text) have invalid sender email addresses?
For example when I send an email to my cell phone my email address does not show up in sender portion of the text message. Instead there is something else that does not offer response capability. I know the email address used to show up to allow for responding to emailed text messages.
What happened?
I am not sure why and would like to know if there is a solution other than knowing the email address of the sender.
Help!
could anyone tell me how to send a sms to SPICE KARNATAKA??
