The person who will recieve the message will have to pay tye normal text charges to his/her service provider.</span><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black;">&nbsp;Often I use these email to SMS techniques to send alerts from my servers to my mobile devices if something goes wrong. I try to double check and update these frequently. Several mobile providers have recently combined. As the services fold into one another, the email addresses will eventually combine. But Verizon till date has not combined with any other network. Here are the email addresses for the 6 most popular cellular phone carriers: You can send the mail as message into your phone using the following format-Verizon:<span class="apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">phonenumber@vtext.com<span style="color: black;">, where phone number = your 10 digit phone number.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These email addresses will work from any typical email client. Subject lines are often truncated or completely ignored. Remember that true SMS messages will be limited to 160 characters. Thus this is the easiest way to send messages to your cell phone from your computer. Other carriers typically have some type of equivalent and/or a web page from which you can send a text message to one of their phones.</span></p>
