[Asterisk-Users] Happy Wednesday Morning SMS question, slightly OT

[C F]

I usually do it by finding out the smtp address to the cellualr
subscribers sms address, and send the message to that address. To find
out an email address that ends up in ones sms inbox: send an email
from the phone to any other email address using sms (most american
phones allow you to send emails using sms), look at the from field.
Verizon is: phonenumber at vtext.com
Sprint is: phonenumber at messaging.sprintpcs.com
wher phonenumber is a ten digit phone number. I'm not sure about
cingular, att, and nextel.
