Sending SMS through email

Most cell phone providers offer a way so that people can send you SMS through their email. If you want to teach your parents how to send SMS, this is by far the easiest way. All they need to do is send an email to the following address (based on who your carrier is). If you don't see your carrier listed and you know how to do this, add it to the comments please.

Alltel.......... 10-digit-phonenumber@message.alltel.com
AT&T............ 10-digit-phonenumber@txt.att.net
Cingular........ 10-digit-phonenumber@cingularme.com
Nextel.......... 10-digit-phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com
Powertel........ 10-digit-phonenumber@ptel.net
Sprint.......... 10-digit-phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
SunCom.......... 10-digit-phonenumber@tms.suncom.com
T-Mobile........ 10-digit-phonenumber@tmomail.net
US Cellular..... 10-digit-phonenumber@email.uscc.net
Verizon......... 10-digit-phonenumber@vtext.com
Virgin Mobile... 10-digit-phonenumber@vmobl.com

In all of these cases, have the person sending you the SMS replace 10-digit-phonenumber with your actual 10-digit phone number
