A good friend of mine John Dabnor alerted me to this new company Teleflip that allows easy sending of SMS messages to any cell phone.
Just send an e-mail to number@teleflip.com, (i.e. 813xxxxxxx@teleflip.com) and it will be delivered. You dont need to know the service provider.
There may be some issues related to LNP or local number portability meaning that if a cell phone ports from one provider to another it may take some time (Their FAQ says a few months) until their database is updated.
I havent tested the service extensively but I did send I some messages to some invalid cell numbers and they bounced back which is good to know. I was able to get a message through to a T-Mobile phone.
The service is free. Let me know what you think.

Great
I made a PHP script that allows you to send text message through this script from a simple website form. http://sms.eric1207.com
I used it, now I cant get rid of spam!!
is it country specifc? will it work in india also.
I found an even cooler site called http://www.enotifyme.com it allows me to convert my email to voice and listen to it on even a landline phone and I can reply by voice back to the originating sender. They also allow 'cascading' so I can selectively have emails reach me at home, then on my cell text message, then at the office and so on - kind of the ICQ version of what teleflip's a trick pony approach.
i found the teleflip not working. i don't know if you can only sms to us or canada phone no. but to european phone no. it doesn't work. i would be glad to here some coments.
Teleflip hasn't worked for a few weeks. Does anyone know what's going on?
