YES!
If the user has a text-message or SMS-enabled phone, you can send them a message via Internet email. Here is a list of known email addresses: (replace xxx with the 10 digit wireless phone number!)
AT&T Wireless: xxx@mmode.com (110 character limit for TDMA subscribers,
160 for mMode/Next Generation network users)
Sprint PCS : xxx@messaging.sprintpcs.com (160 character limit)
T-Mobile : xxx@tmomail.net (140 character limit)
Nextel : xxx@messaging.nextel.com (if the user does not subscribe to two-way messaging,
messages over 140 characters will be sent as multiple messag es,
and billed as such, if the user subscribes to two-way messag ing,
then the limit is 500 characters and is unlimited)
Cingular : xxx@mobile.mycingular.net (160 character limit)
Verizon : xxx@vtext.com (160 character limit)
Many providers now allow users to set up their own email alias for text messaging. Please check with your provider for details.
*All of the above providers also have web-based messaging (that I have hyperlinked) in case you don't have access to email.
**Character limits include to, from, subject line, and all punctuation and spacing. Long messages will be truncated unless otherwise noted.
***PLEASE BE COURTEOUS WHEN SENDING MESSAGES! Some providers (ie T-Mobile) still charge their customers to receive text messages. It is a good idea to check with the user if you want to send them a significant number of messages, in case they subscribe to any kind of messaging plan, such as T-Mobile's 500 messages for $2.99 or Nextel's unlimited two-way messaging.
