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.
Here is a list of domain for popular service providers in US
ATT or Cingular - number@cingularme.com,
T-Mobile - number@tmomail.com(Update: If it doesn’t work, try number@tmomail.net)
