To the best of my knowledge, there is
not a universal, free way to send SMS messages over the internet.
Some providers have email gateways…
I know in the US that SprintPCS has an email gateway. You can also send
messages via a Bluetooth enabled cellphone or via a web service for a fee. I’m
not too sure about who provides these services or how much they cost.
Keep in mind that with some providers,
SMS message delivery is less reliable than text pagers. In a previous job, we
experimented with pagers and SMS enabled phones for on-call staff… SMS
messages were consistently delivered 5-30 minutes later than text pagers. This
was five years ago with a US provider that no longer exists, so your mileage
may vary.
