While researching the possibilities of implementing a way to send requested email (text message) notices to cell phones, I found the following cool and simple information. You can send email (text message) to the following cellphone providers from your computer email program. Or, using php mail() function in a script. Ahh, the possibilties. Don’t abuse it though….!

• Cingular: cellphonenumber@cingularme.com
• Nextel: cellphonenumber@messaging.nextel.com
• Sprint: cellphonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
• T-Mobile: cellphonenumber@tmomail.net
• Verizon: cellphonenumber@vtext.com
• Virgin Mobile: cellphonenumber@vmobl.com

There is also a free service from Teleflip that does the same thing:

• cellphonenumber@teleflip.com

I’m guessing that Teleflip just sends out to all the cellualr service providers email and lets the bad ones bounce back while the correct one goes through.

Pretty neat stuff.
