How to send txt messages via email

Okay, one more off topic topic post today.

Occasionally, I want to send a txt message to a friend’s cell phone, and this is easily accomplished via email.

1) You need to know the cell provider
2) Send an email to the 10 digit number @ the provider’s domain (5551235555@vtext.com)

The catch is knowing all the domains.  I am tired of looking this up every time, so I am recording the common ones here:

Verizon –> number@vtext.com
ATT –> number@txt.att.net
Sprint –> number@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T Mobile –> number@tmomail.net
Alltel –> number@message.alltel.com
Nextel –> number@messaging.nextel.com
Virgin –> number@vmobl.com
Boost Mobile –> number@myboostmobile.com

If you would to add/correct any of these please feel free to post them below
