You can send SMS messages to users of many SMS providers by sending email to a specific address at the provider's domain.

For each provider, one line on the screen shows a unique ID, a Description of the provider, and the Email format for SMS. The email format often is the string number@ followed by the provider's domain.

Thus, for example, to send an SMS to a user with the phone number 555-345-6789 from a provider using the domain text.example.com, you would send the email to the address 5553456789@text.example.com.
