Sending Text to Phones from Email Clients (i.e. Outlook)

Sometimes it's handy to send someone a text message (SMS) via email.  It's easy to do!  Just address the email to the intended recipient's cell phone number-- including the area code but without a preceding 1-- and append it as follows:
  • ATT:  @txt.att.net
  • Sprint:  @messaging.sprintpcs.com
  • T-Mobile:  @tmomail.net
  • Verizon:  @vtext.com
For instance, if you wanted to send a VerizonWireless customer a text message via email, address is to 7145551212@vtext.com.

Easy!
